There's not really an easy comprehensive way. You can look for reverse dependencies in packages where you have binaries (built locally or installed from a binary distribution) using 'apt-cache', but for packages that haven't been built yet, you'd have to resort to using tools like grep. Somebody on the list may have a script to do this. - -However- If you're building against non-Fink installs of packages, then don't assume we can provide any help with issues with your Fink builds. Fink assumes that its packages are built against either other Fink packages or the system, and it is far too complex of an undertaking for us to debug builds against arbitrary third-party stuff. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAku93qUACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ82RwCeJgLVpMJmdhqu7s0NgWSTTw8h KtkAmgKOCB6KFLDWDnibSWP3Y/skMQsP =eYOU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
