I have updated the "fix-fink" program to help people update their libpng libraries to libpng3 and hopefully cure the libpng/libpng3 woes. You can find fix-fink-2.0-1 in the unstable tree at the moment. If you use it, please let me know so that I can move it to the stable tree after getting some feedback.
Here's what it does: it examines all of your libraries and executables to see if they link to libpng.2.dylib, and if they do, it tells you to rebuild the corresponding fink packages. This only makes sense, by the way, if you have run "fink selfupdate-cvs" on March 10 or later (to make sure that the "libpng -> libpng3" updates are present on your system). At the same time, I updated the older part of fix-fink so that it should no longer report "false positives" on the test that it runs. One warning: if you have KDE installed, then fix-fink is going to want to rebuild your KDE packages, updating them to the new KDE 3.1 packages. This could take a day or more of compiling, so you might want to time your execution of fix-fink appropriately. There is one situation in which fix-fink is slightly tricky to use. If you have at some point in the past installed some packages from the unstable tree, but are currently using the stable tree, fink might get confused by the instruction to rebuild the packages. In this case, you can temporarily turn on the unstable tree, run fix-fink, and then revert to the stable tree after everything has been rebuilt. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
