Greetings, It seems to me, most of the messages on this list are about problems installing individual packages and conflicting or incorrect dependencies (not the functionality of fink itself, which seems quite stable and well-behaved). I wonder if there is a general solution that isn't clear, or perhaps the solution is made up of pieces that can be consolidated into a coherent HOW-TO.
I am having a problem installing Evolution, but rather than posting the particular error I am getting, I suspect there's something I'm not doing correctly. And it may have already been discussed, but it's becoming difficult to sift through the past posts. I have read that one thing one must do to install unstable packages is to place 'unstable' before 'stable' in fink.conf. That's one example (which I've done), but what else? Naturally, I understand fink is still very cutting-edge, as well as all those package ports to Darwin. I can't fathom the work it must have taken in the relatively short period of time to get XDarwin, Gnome, et.al., actually working (and working well!). Perhaps, at this point, the only thing to do is keep scratching and stuttering along one error at a time until the landscape stabilizes, as was the case for Mozilla. They made damn sure 1.0 would not be official until it was clean as a whistle! Such patience and meticulousness rival those of a 5-star chef or a sculptor. Geez, look at the time! Sorry I rambled this far. I hope to hear others' thoughts. Thanks!
