Re: [Fink-beginners] Scigraphica in Fink?

2003-02-25 Thread Alexander Hansen
There used to be a fink scigraphica package for 10.1, but my understanding is that it never worked very well, and it hasn't been ported to 10.2 successfully as of yet. The main scientific graphic tool I've used with fink is gnuplot; check the sci and graphic packages (with Fink Commander or "fink

[Fink-beginners] Scigraphica in Fink?

Hi, I would like to show my research data clearly. I found an open source graph tool, SciGraphica, http://scigraphica.sourceforge.net/ . It provides good GUI and powerful tools; However, It's need GTK-Extra library. I don't find in the Fink list. Could Fink add the SciGraphica in the Fink package?

Actually, you're kind of comparing apples and oranges. You're looking at the fink commander Install from Binary vs. "fink install", i.e. install from source. You should compare between the FC Binary Install and "apt-get install" or dslect. This problem has been reported before--binaries don't wo

Re: [Fink-beginners] something with ghostscript6

2003-02-25 Thread Alexander Hansen
What happens with "fink reinstall ghostscript6"? The "reinstall" is key, because it unpacks the .deb, if present, whereas "install" does nothing if the versions are the same. Also, what about installing ghostscript to convince fink to remove ghostscript6? On Tue, 2003-02-25 at 13:37, Victor Eijk
