I followed your suggestion and it worked. However, when I ran again "fink selfupdate" and "fink update-all" I got:
------------------------ root[17:22:44::~]<22> fink update-all Information about 4392 packages read in 0 seconds. Can't resolve dependency "libmpfr1-shlibs (>= 2.3.2-1)" for package "gcc43-4.3.4-1000" (no matching packages/versions found) Exiting with failure. ----------------------- It does not seem to have anything to do with transfig, but something went wrong! Any hints about this problem? -- tsf On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 10:27 AM, Alexander Hansen<[email protected]> wrote: > The error message suggests that you already had transfig-graphicx > installed, so I think my suggestion would just reset your system to what > was originally there. > > T.
