Thanks, Ben. I'm about to give it a try, but the sagasu package depends on a bunch of other packages that I don't have on my machine, and it will take pretty long until I see how it really works with successful compilation of all of them.
AFAIK, unfortunately, there's no simple way - i.e., there's no general way - to answer the question, "what does a package provide?", prior to fully installing it first and finding out by hand.
This will do it:fink build sagasu dpkg -c /sw/fink/debs/sagasu_1.0.6-2_darwin-powerpc.deb OR, if you want to go ahead and install it: fink install sagasu dpkg -L sagasu
Off-line topic: the package name sounds like a Japanese word meaning "search". If so, why is it named in Japanese? Has UNIX used up all the English synonyms of "search" already? ;-)
Cheers,
