What's going on should be OK, though. This is standard practice in Fink to avoid breaking packages when updating libraries. gmt, in installing "netcdf", has uninstalled the C and C++ header packages from netCDF-4.2 (netcdf-c7 and netcdf-cxx4 respectively) but not the libraries (the corresponding -shlibs packages), in favor of the headers from netCDF-3.6.3. Once it's installed, you're free to remove "netcdf", because that contains no files that are needed at run time, and similarly installing netcdf-c7 and netcdf-cxx4 shouldn't affect anything you have currently built. The various -shlibs packages which contain the libraries can and do coexist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
