That latter doesn't seem confusing at all...it's just a restatement of what you noted previously: the gs version dependency isn't reflected in the evinec package. We probably forgot we've had ghostscript < 8 at all (8 was added years ago)...fixed in evince-2.20.2-7 Wish we could update evince to its more modern version (2.24.x), but it needs an even newer ghostscript, which doesn't yet build correctly on OS X from what I've seen:( dan -- Daniel Macks [email protected] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
