Sometime in February Alexander K. Hansen assaulted the keyboard and produced:
| Ah--I was looking at 2.9.1-13, which does have that dependency.
|
| Here's a kluge that might work for you:
|
| rm /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/languages/ocaml.info
| /sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/languages/ocaml.info
| sudo apt-get install ocaml=3.0.7-1
Then when it tried to downgrade ocaml I got the following:
<snip>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:# /sw/bin/apt-get install ocaml=3.07-1

I dont know why it did this. I tried apt-get clean and reran the above command
but I get the same output. Perhaps the file on the server is corrupted?
Also when I tried to downgrade ocaml, apt also uninstalled 'lablgtk' which
we may recall from the unison.info file:
BuildDepends: lablgtk, gettext-dev, gettext-bin, x11-dev, gtk+, glib
^^^^^^^
Which is why I think fink keeps installing the latest version of ocaml.
| I've tried later versions of unison built manually and they all didn't
| get along with ocaml-3.0.8. I wound up using a precompiled OS X binary
| from the unison website that has HFS+ support.
|
| Maybe it's worth trying to "finkify" that.
Is there a primer or tutorial on how to do this? I may end up using the
precompiled binary till this version stuff gets figured out.
