Brad, if it's urgent, you could downgrade to an earlier version by simply doing something like: sudo dpkg -i /sw/fink/debs/ghostscript_8.64-1_darwin-i386.deb Here the available earlier versions depend on what packages you have previously built (and not deleted), but I assume you will find the last version that worked for you by doing "ls -l /sw/fink/debs/ghostscript*" Jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
