Then, sudo fink install tetex-base gave the following error message: Information about 4361 packages read in 0 seconds. Can't resolve dependency "fink (>= 0.28.0)" for package "gettext-tools-0.14.5-4" (no matching packages/versions found) Exiting with failure. Afterwards I realized how to check the version of Xcode, and found that it is 3.1.2. Is it critical to get 3.1.3? I also tried to install the source using finkcommander. There I did not find tetex-base but rather tetex3-base. I tried to install this but, after accepting the default answer to a couple of questions I got the following message: Information about 4361 packages read in 0 seconds. Can't resolve dependency "fink (>= 0.28.0)" for package "gettext-tools-0.14.5-4" (no matching packages/versions found) Exiting with failure. Is there something else I should do? Should I just remove the directory /sw and start from scratch?
