Re: [Fink-users] copy from Mac OS X and paste to kde apps
Thanks for the note; that works great. I hope you don't mind that I am cc'ing the fink users' list for the purpose of generating an internet record.

It seems to work as a bridge between Mac apps and X11, so Control-V works in KDE as soon as you've copied in a Mac app. And it allows you to go backward and forward in clipboard buffers.

Re: [Fink-users] trouble with Octave

[Fink-users] bug in xfig-3.2.5; prevent upgrade?
I am experiencing a bug in xfig-3.2.5 (unstable tree). When I choose the 'update' tool, many of the property selections along the bottom are outside the window, but there is no scroll bar available. When I resize the window, the scroll bar still does not appear, and even more alarming, the depths controls on the right side of the screen disappear! I found that installing xfig-3.2.4 from the stable tree does not have this buggy behavior. I am satisfied using this version, but how do I prevent fink from upgrading xfig when I do an update-all?

[Fink-users] size of octave libraries
I noticed that the library files of octave (2.9.14) are much larger, by and order of magnitude, than those on Linux. For example, liboctinterp.2.9.14.dylib is 160 MB on my Mac, but only 10 MB on my Linux system. Library files for other programs do not have nearly as large a disparity. Any ideas about this? I posted to the octave help list, and the maintainer of octave.app says his libraries are not so large. Thanks, Jonathan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

They are probably not being stripped during the install. install -s is need to do stripping with Mac OS X's /usr/bin/install. To confirm this, try running strip -x /path/to/lib on the lib and see if it shrinks. It is fine to do this on installed binaries from fink. Yep, stripping reduced the library file sizes of octave to more reasonable values. Can stripping be added as part of the info file of octave in future versions?

[Fink-users] running unstable
Right now I am running fink stable and installing unstable packages by symlinking the info and patch files into my local/main tree. This is working OK, but it gets tedious at times. I am wondering, how unstable is unstable? Can those of you running unstable report your impressions? I can handle occasional packages that fail to install, filing bugs, and looking for workarounds. However, I would prefer to avoid complete system breakage. Thanks, Jonathan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

This is a rather nasty incompatibility: The newer dbus comes with two similar but incompatible dylibs: libdbus-1.2.dylib and libdbus-1.3.dylib. The 1.3 one does no longer have the symbol _dbus_connection_disconnect. The 1.2 one is still there to maintain compatibility. Now what has changed in dbus-dev is the symlink libdbus-1.dylib. In version 0.60 it pointed to libdbus-1.2.dylib, in versions 1.0+ it points to libdbus-1.3.dylib. This gives the above error. Instead of downgrading dbus-dev, what would also help is to convince the above compiler command to use /sw/lib/libdbus-1.2.dylib instead of /sw/lib/libdbus-1.dylib. Or perhaps, if possible, move dbus-qt3 version 0.70, which does not have this problem, to stable. I can report that using dbus-qt3-dev from unstable (leaving everything else stable) worked for me.
