Hi. If you find a package with the sourcefile "missing", you have two options: (1) you might try to install the binary version of the package if it exists, or (2) you can try to locate the source file somewhere on the internet, download it, and store the .tar.gz file in /sw/src. With method (2), fink will see that file before it goes out to search on the net, and you will be set.
If the package in question has ever been released as a fink binary, then its sourcefile can be found on Fink's website (as the GPL requires): look in http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/source/ (or substitute your favorite sourceforge mirror). -- Dave P.S. Oh yes, and notifying the maintainer about this problem is also a good thing to do. You can get the maintainer's email address from the .info file, or from the "packages" section on Fink's website. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
