I'm clueless about building universal libraries. That said, the following describes how to obtain and extract binary packages. You may download Fink's binary packages for 10.5 stable from http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist/dists/10.5/ You may extract the contents of a .deb file with dpkg-deb: dpkg-deb --extract package.deb destinationdirectory Warning: the instructions below use *unofficial* binary distributions that are not supported by the Fink project itself. Todai's binary packages for 10.5 i386 unstable are available in http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/apt/10.5/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/ Todai doesn't build x86_64 binary packages yet. Scott does but his selection of binary packages are mostly for scientific computing and he hasn't provided a libsndfile1-shlibs binary package. Warning: the instructions above use *unofficial* binary distributions that are not supported by the Fink project itself.
