Re: upgrade to 10.5 problem

So my previous error (not a reference at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/ 
Services.pm line 1910) was solved by fixing the symlink from 10.4 to  
dists. Then I did a fink reinstall fink, but got my original error  
message again:

Re: upgrade to 10.5 problem

Well, to get going for now, you should run the following commands  
manually:

  rm -rf /sw/fink/10.5
  ln -s 10.4 /sw/fink/10.5

(You might also need "ln -s 10.5 /sw/fink/dists", but that symlink  
should already be there.)

I still can't figure out why your system is doing this, but I am  
working on an update to fink which will cope with poorly-configured  
installations and correct them (as above).

Re: upgrade to 10.5 problem

And just to clarify: /sw/fink/10.5 is *not* supposed to be a  
directory, its supposed to be a symlink to 10.4.  The 10.4 and 10.5  
distributions are sharing a common "tree" of finkinfo files.

Thanks - now it works! I had to do an additional fink index -f and  
fink scanpackages to make fink recognize all the packages that were  
already installed.

cheers,

Re: No /etc/fonts directory in Leopard (OS X.5)

Do you have fontconfig-path installed? If so, try removing it.

Doing that would entail also removing fc-ghostscript-fonts and all the packages that depend on it.  

The second option would be to edit the "fonts.conf" configuration file in "/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts".
When trying this, however, I came across the following notice:

       DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.
        IT WILL BE REPLACED WHEN FONTCONFIG IS UPDATED.
        LOCAL CHANGES BELONG IN 'local.conf'.

Waiting for the new fink fontconfig package still remains the best option.

gfortran/g95 in ftw3, hdf5 and octave

Jeffrey,

I've made some trivial changes in your fftw3, hdf5 and octave packages
so they use gfortran instead on g95 (which isn't present in the 10.5
branch).

Do you mind if I commit the changes?

Sébastien

FWIW, in my case this allowed me to run xdrawchem:

bash-3.2$ sudo apt-get remove x-ghostscript-fonts
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
   x-ghostscript-fonts xfig

YMMV, --rtw

error with versioned package when updating to perl 588

I'm updating some of my packages to perl 5.8.8 so they can be built on  
10.5 For one I get the following error:

Validating .deb dir root-xml-twig-pm588-3.26-1...
Error: File in a language-versioned package is neither versioned nor  
in a versioned directory.
	Offending file: /sw/bin/xml_merge
	Offending file: /sw/bin/xml_split
	Offending file: /sw/share/man/man1/xml_merge.1
	Offending file: /sw/share/man/man1/xml_split.1

I don't recall this happening on 10.4. Any pointers on how to solve  
this?

thanks,

- Koen.
