I forgot to say that you might want to check out http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/local-packages/ and try building xsane on your machine from a local .info file, and then report your results back to the list and the maintainer. If it works for you then we can at least make it visible on 10.6/i386, pending testing on 10.6/x86_64. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkv+dnQACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ99IwCfcnn0y2CV6Sp5ks5CGE3o2Opp sFcAoI+8rk30G9Yo9X/OCIu28ong3hX5 =SpLs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
