Yes and no. Yes, you can do "fink build ghostscript", or better "fink install ghostscript", but no, this will not run dselect. Dselect is there for downloading and installing precompiled binaries, and since there is no precompiled binary for ghostscript-7, it cannot be obtained with dselect. "fink install ghostscript" will download the source tarball and compile and install it, and it will take the latest ghostscript it finds a package description for (on your harddisk), so if you did a "fink selfupdate-cvs" after the installation of the 3.2a fink distribution, it will get ghostscript-7. Just look what version of ghostscript-*.info you have in your dist, in /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/text/ (or .../unstable/... if you have unstable enabled in you fink.config) > Or is it more involved? > > Part of the problem I have is that replacing the old with the new seems to > need to happen "all at once" - otherwise, I'll have to remove a truckload of > packages before I can get the older ghostscript out of there. > > But I cant tell if there's a way to get the fink command line to do a > simultaneous remove & install to replace one package with another, while > realizing that the dependencies broken by the remove will be fixed by the > install. "fink install" will do this. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
