All,
I'm using a recent fresh install of fink and fink commander on OS X
10.5.4 on an Intel Mac. Version info is apparently as follows:
fink --version
Package manager version: 0.27.16
Distribution version: 0.9.0.1 i386
I am trying to install pymol, which according to the online package
list should be available
(http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/pymol-py25). However, it
does not appear in my package list in 'fink list' or in fink
commander.
I have enabled unstable versions of packages -- first in fink
commander by checking the box in preferences, and also tried directly
with fink by running fink configure to edit the configuration file; I
also checked that the appropriate unstable path is listed under Trees
in the configuration file (the line reads 'Trees: local/main
stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main').
I have (repeatedly) run selfupdate, scanpackages, and update-all using
both fink commander, so I don't think that's the problem.
What else could be wrong? A friend running under Leopard upgraded
recently from 10.3 and is still running the 10.3 version of fink
(0.28.5, he says, though the numbering seems strange since that's a
higher # than mine) and is seeing and getting pymol just fine, and it
works for him.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David Mobley
If you don't have rsync or cvs updating turned on (the instructions do
mention this, I believe) then all of the selfupdates in the world
won't download new package descriptions except when a new binary
distribution comes out. Run a selfupdate-rsync or selfupdate-cvs to
switch to one of those methods.
