But I think I am facing some problems: as you suggested, I was able to install the polymake-pm581_2.1.0-3_darwin-powerpc.deb file without any problems. However, after this when I try to install the polymake_2.1.0-3_darwin- powerpc.deb package using the samke sudo dpkg -i filename, I get the following messages:
(Reading database ... 57037 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace polymake 2.1.0-3 (using polymake_2.1.0-3_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Unpacking replacement polymake ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of polymake: polymake depends on darwin (>= 8-1); however: Version of darwin on system is 7.9.0-1. Package darwin is not installed. dpkg: error processing polymake (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: polymake
I know this has nothing to do with fink, but in case anyone knows how to resolve this I would appreciate it very much. I have posted it to google groups as well, but no one has replied yet.. I am using OS X 10.3 thanks, --A.
And that's why it doesn't work--darwin >= 8 means 10.4 or later.
