[Fink-users] fink installs wrong version of xemacs

2009-02-19 Thread Aaron Chou
Hi, I am running fink on a OS 10.4 system on a Macbook Pro.  I had xemacs previously installed, and apparently when I ran a 'fink selfupdate' earlier this week, it updated my xemacs installation to a new version which no longer works.  After some trial and error, I discovered that fink now

Alexander, I been complaining about fink warning that packages can't Depend on xcode for ages. It is simply wrong-headed to do that. There have been several times that FSF gcc has required fixes from a newer Xcode's cctools to properly assemble or link code generated by FSF gcc. It is essential

Hi Alexander, Okay, its seems that you are correct--I installed the older version of xemacs as you suggested, and that too causes X11 to crash immediately when I start xemacs.  It seems that my problems are worse than I thought! The only other thing I did recently was to apply a recent Mac OS

[Fink-users] Unstable tree not working (not n00b question!!)

2009-02-19 Thread graffitici
