I can't say that I bothered trying to install anything from macosxforge. I DID try to install kopete, which, by the way, always gave an error trying to connect to a folder and DCOP, and I never got it working. I wonder if that apt-get install tried to install or modified my X11 configuration???
I will try running apps manually. Any hints on installing release candidate 3 of OOo? Anything I need to know?

I've seen this problem, and to my recollection it was unrelated to Fink on my machine--i.e. Oo.org worked after I installed Fink, and stopped after I did something else, namely update to an unofficial X11 server from macosxforge.org . There seems to be an incompatibility with that. My workaround is to use the release candidate for the Aqua-based Openoffice 3. The other option is to launch the oo.org apps manually rather than through the app bundle, e.g. /Applications/OpenOffice.org\ 2.4.app/Contents/program/soffice.bin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
