Re: [Fink-users] iplike-pg82 install problems
Rob, Does it matter whether Postgres is installed via Fink or not (the machine has a build from Mark at entropy.ch? I wouldn't think this is an issue. All of the required shared libraries are loaded via Fink and the install does not appear to complain about anything like this. Full dump below and thanks for your efforts. I expect that you'll need libpq for pg82 in the system before install will complete. However, the current failure doesn't look related to the lack of PostgreSQL libraries. I don't know anything about building iplike, though. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.

Re: [Fink-users] Fink going down the drain? -- was (New packages in tracker ).
Dmalloc, This is our attempt at registering a not-for-profit, tax exempt company which could help us take Fink to the next level. It would enable us to improve our level of service, it would also enable us to put a better system in place to acquire funds which will then benefit the community as a whole. Right now we are struggling with that project. Help is available from three groups: 1) Software in the Public Interest 2) Software Freedom Law Center 3) the open source foundations mailing list For (3), let me know who in Fink is leading the NPO effort and I'll subscribe you. My suggestion is that you either join SPI or the SFLC conservancy until you can raise some money. Then you can use that money to do a real incorporation. I know from bitter personal experience that in addition to the up-front cash and time, running a 501(c)3 in the US requires a member of your project to spend 50 to 100 hours a year doing paperwork, plus board meetings, etc. So it's not something you want to rush into. Oh, and for my part, I think fink is better than ever. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Fink-users] (minor) Bug: Kmail crashes if PATH is not set
Ben, Thanks for your work fixing kdepim! I am now a happy kmail-on-mac user. However, there's one small bug, which should be an easy fix: OS: 10.5 Package Installed: 2008/02/24 Summary: Kmail Crashes if /sw/bin is not in $PATH The existing kmail package (as others) doesn't add /sw/bin to the $PATH for bash. If you attempt to start kmail without setting this path, it crashes with some very confusing error messages. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Fink-users] kdepim building
AKH, The maintainer has been very busy with other Fink-related matters and has said to me that he considers them even higher priority to resolve than his own packages, so it might take a little time. And, on 2nd thought, if Ben is going to devote time to kdepim packages, I'd rather he spent it on native 4.0 packages and not on 3.5-on-X11. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Fink-users] PostgreSQL isn't running
All, In general, installation of database software does not imply that you want the database server running. It might be installed as a dependency by another package that has specific requirements for how the database is set up, so initializing and starting some default instance is not really appropriate. For that matter, some users will already have PostgreSQL installed and want to use the existing instance. Or some users may be running the old Apple Remote Desktop which unfortunately runs PostgreSQL on the default port and causes a conflict. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
