[Fink-users] Nicotine problem solved but still a question

[Aron Trauring]

Since it had worked for me once before I used the i-Installer (for TeX) 
to install Freetype2. But when I installed nicotine it crashed on 
libfreetype. So I removed the i-installer libraries (which as far as I 
could see were in /usr/local/lib) and tried installing freetype2 from 
Fink. Now nicotine crashed saying /usr/local/lib/freetype2... was 
missing. Since I had just installed it anyway on this new machine (an 
iMac G5) I actually did a total new install of Fink and a source install 
of nicotine from scratch (after installing freetype through Fink). Again 
nicotine crashed, but then I noticed there is a libfreetype.6 library in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/, which was version 6.3 instead of 6.3.2 which is what 
Fink has. So I did a softlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib to 
the 6.3.2. libraries in /sw/lib/ and now nicotine works fine.

My questions are:
1. does anybody know if it was i-installer that put those libraries in 
/usr/X11R6/lib
2. if not how did they get there?
3. If freetype gets upgraded again in future, is there anyway for me to 
make sure the fink libraries are used instead of the ones in X11R6

In other words, I don't know if it was me that made this mess in the 
first place, but anyone have a cleaner solution than my soft link kludge?

BTW, thanks for solving the gnucash problem. The thing is that Fink 
installs gtkhtml1.1-shlibs, but apparently Gnucash is linked to the 
1.0.2 libraries which are gtkhtml-shlibs.
