Its exactly the same error. (Mind you, most gnome >utilities are already installed, but via fink binary [apt-get]). > I thought at first this might be fairly simple but I guess not. I'll just run some things by you and hope it helps. First my setup: I use all source this time around, Dec tools - no binaries. I have found through past experience that mixing the 2 is just not reliable (for me ,anyway). I found that my xmms acted the same way as yours until I installed bundle-gnome. Then, for *whatever* reason, it started working just fine.
My advice, and that's all it is, is if you don't feel like you are to0 far into your current fink setup, then trash it and start anew and stick with source. Use the Dec tools at least until you have xfree 86 base and rootless installed (apparently they don't compile correctly with April tools just yet). This is what I did and I like what I have now. By the way I still use Dec tools and will for awhile longer. True, it takes longer to install the packages, but I feel the end result is worth it. If you decide to reinstall fink and use source I will be glad to help. I really hope I haven't confused the issue. This just *my* take on it all. sc _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
