The only problem with xcode-3.1 I know of is with X11. The X11SDK.pkg from xcode-3.1 has some incompatibilities with the rest of Leopard's X11. So if you manage to install xcode-3.1 without installing its X11SDK.pkg, it should be OK. I don't remember if this is possible by unselecting X11 in the custom install window. If not, try to find your xcode-3.0 disk image and look for its X11SDK.pkg, so that you can reinstall it after the installation of xcode-3.1. Another possibility is to install the latest xquartz/macosforge X11 update after the installation of xcode-3.1. I hope Apple will find a solution to this problem soon, but right now it is a nuisance that breaks compiling a couple of Fink packages. Otherwise, anyone running selfupdate+update-all after the Big Fink Update of last Tuesday is in for a *big* update. Sometimes even if you update only one package, you have to expect an update cascade of 100 or more packages. We are trying to reduce the number of unnecessary builds, but in any case it will be *big*. This MacBook pro I am writing on needed a couple of hours to finish, but on an iMac G5/1.8GHz I am still waiting for the update-all to finish (after 3 days, with breaks due to restarts of update-all and sleep breaks of the administrator). -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
