What you'd want to do would be to use "fink remove --recursive octave362-atlas-x11-shlibs". However, it looks like you have an older octave362* installed which used the original qrupdate packaging, and that library has been moved--I probably should have had qrupdate install a compatibility symlink. Rather than updating the octave-3.6.2 that you want to remove, creating a /sw/lib/libqrupdate.1.dylib symlink which points to /sw/lib/qrupdate-atlas/libqrupdate.1.dylib should make the linker happy. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
