Hi all, first post here.
I am having problems installing fink on my laptop, I have OS X 10.10 with Xcode
etc all installed. However when I try to run ./bootstrap.sh I get the following
error message;
Mathew-3:fink-0.38.4 pcxms4$ ./bootstrap
Fink must be installed and run with superuser (root) privileges. Fink can
automatically try to become root when it's run from a user account. Since
you're currently running this script as a normal user, the method you choose
will also be used immediately for this script. Available methods:
(1) Use sudo
(2) Use su
(3) None, fink must be run as root
Choose a method: [1]
Checking package... looks good (fink-0.38.4).
Checking system... i386-apple-darwin14.0.0
10.90 does not match the expected value of 10.10. Please run `fink selfupdate`
to download a newer version of fink at
/Users/mathew/Downloads/fink/perlmod/Fink/Services.pm line 1374.
As I don’t yet have Fink installed, I am unable to run fink selfupdate. Are
there any known workarounds for this?
Thanks
Mathew
Yeah, that would be an inapplicable message. ;-)
What do you get if you run
./update/config.guess
from the top level of the fink-0.38.4 directory? Then what do you get when you
run
sw_vers
?
I had a look at the “About my mac” from the apple menu, and it said I was
running Yosemite 10.90, which must have been not updated when I upgraded for
some reason,
sudo nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and editing the
value manually seemed to let me bootstrap okay
Running config.guess only yielded the following result:
Mathew-3:update pcxms4$ ./config.guess
i386-apple-darwin14.0.0
Running sw_vers after the edit yielded:
Mathew-3:fink-0.38.4 pcxms4$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.10
BuildVersion: 14A389
Thanks for the help, Mathew
