<div class="answer"><p><b>A:</b> If you're using the unstable tree, make
sure you have intltool-0.34.1or later installed.</p><p>Otherwise, you need to
make sure that you have the right variant of the xml-parser-pm package to match
the Perl version for your system. For example, if you're on Panther you should
have <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">xml-parser-pm581</tt> rather than <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">xml-parser-pm560</tt> (you may also have the <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">xml-parser-pm</tt> placeholder), since you have
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">Perl-5.8.1</tt> rather than <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">Perl-5.6.0</tt>. If you're on Jaguar, and are
using the default system Perl version, you'll have the <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">pm560</tt> variant, and if you've installed <tt style="white-space:
nowrap;">Perl 5.8.0</tt> you may have the <tt style="white-space:

to makes sure that sources for Fink packages are available even when the
upstream site has moved them around. Typically these errors occur when a new

+ <div class="question"><p><b>Q6.21: I want Fink to use different options
in building a package.</b></p></div>
<div class="answer"><p><b>A:</b> The first thing to do is to contact the
package maintainer to request a variant. It may be relatively easy to do it.
If you don't hear from the maintainer or see the new packages, or want to try a
different option yourself, check out the <a
href="http://www.finkproject.org/doc/quick-start-pkg/index.php";>Packaging
Tutorial</a> and <a
href="http://www.finkproject.org/doc/packaging/index.php";>Packaging
Manual</a>.</p><p>
<b>Note: </b>Fink is deliberately set up such that all official
binaries are identical regardless of what machine they are built on, so things
like G5 optimization won't happen with an official package. If you want them,
you'll have to do it yourself.</p></div>

Fink keeps waffling between <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">gettext-dev</tt>

- <div class="answer"><p><b>A:</b> Some packages that need <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">gettext</tt> headers to build have been updated to
use <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">libgettext3-dev</tt> and some still use
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">gettext-dev</tt>. Consequently, Fink may try
to switch to whichever one isn't currently installed in order to satisfy a
build dependency for some package that you're trying to update. In addition,
the <tt style="white-space: nowrap;">fink </tt> tool treats <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">gettext-dev</tt> as essential, and will install it
any time you selfupdate.</p><p>Similar behavior can happen for other pairs of
packages, too. </p><p>Unfortunately, due to limitations in the build-dependency
engine, you may find that your build bombs because you've swapped in one of
these but some later package in your build chain wants the other one. You can
usually proceed by repeating your update command again.</p><p>In extreme cases
you may wind up having to install those packages which build-depend on <tt
style="white-space: nowrap;">gettext-dev</tt> separately from those which want
<tt style="white-space: nowrap;">libgettext3-dev</tt> (or whichever pair are
causing problems). You may even have to install packages one by one.</p><p>A
