[Fink-users] several points of confusion

[Michael Bovee]

Hi all,
I recently mentioned the problem with FinkCommander crashing on gnome compile, and Alexander pointed out that it would probably work from terminal.app. This turned out to be (mostly) true. But I still have growing angst and confusion on the following points:

1) still cannot get to current gnome-core-dev because of the scrollkeeper segfault error. I've rebuilt scrollkeeper before and it says 'current' but still halts the compile, this is all with Terminal.app

2) I saw a compile scroll by yesterday with a bunch of warnings about that 'weak' thing that seemed to be related to PATH pointers in the 10.1 version of fink (don't have the details at hand) and I'm wondering if I need to fix that using the info that was posted. Sorry this is so vague, ignore it if it doesn't ring a bell. I'll be checking the FAQ again soon.

3) Every time I compile something (successfully even) I still get warnings about system-xfree86, which I abandoned some time ago for Fink's packages. Did some of my packages get compiled against system-xfree way back when and fink is remembering that? How do I tell fink to get over it already? :0)

4) What is the difference between libpng and libpng3; one package made me install libpng3 and archived the previously installed libpng, and then last nite I was 'experimenting' and I tried 'fink update libpng' and it made 'current' the libpng entry and 'archived' the libpng3. So can I just get rid of one of these guys?

5) that imlib thing is cleared up and no longer an issue, right?

Thanks for the top notch help on this list. I would have long ago given up the hope of learning to use the great open source tools available here (let alone OS X and the Terminal) if it hadn't been for all of you.

Regards,
--Michael
