It would still be interesting to set the record straight on this 
question. I grepped through all the different Apple X11 versions I could 
get my hands on, and none of them has any reference to GLchar. I don't 
know, though, which X11 comes with a MacBook October 2006.

Re: Incomplete Gnome setup - something is broken and don't know how to fix

Ok, I have partly fixed the problem but would need some assistance to  
get it completely fixed.

I have installed a number of Gnome packages, to no avial but some  
error messages gave me a few ideas and I now found the problem. For  
some reason, glines (and all other Gnome apps) cannot find and  
correctly handle SVG images. I converted /sw/share/pixmaps/glines/ 
balls.svg and /sw/share/pixmaps/glines/shapes.svg into PNGs (using  
other software, not related to Fink or Gnome) and I can now play  
glines - it will find my newly created PNGs and let me play the game  
(I used both the balls and the shapes).

As far as I can tell I have installed everything that is SVG-related  
in Fink, but obviously not enough. All dependancies are satisfied.

My question is, which library/-ies handles this? Which package should  
I install so get this right?

I've installed all packages I can think of! Any other suggestions?

Re: Was "exmh" ever in fink?


Hi,

the message about exmh on Mac/Fink is perfect timing. I am also an exmh/nmh
fan and would want to move from linux to Mac. What I always wondered about it
whether Apple Mail is completely compatible with nmh -- I mean could you run
both on the same (and unique) Mail folder structure?  (I came to this question
once I noticed how easy and convenient it is to move message from my Mac/Mail
to linux/exmh and vice versa as both use a similar mail folder system).

Anybody does this in a "production" way? (switching between exmh/Apple Mail on
a unique Mail folder structure).

Thanks in advance,
MB

Launching postgresql81

I hope this is the right place to ask this.

I successfully compiled and installed postgresql81, but I didn't find
the obvious way of actually launching the daemon and registering it
with launchd.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
nyenyec, recent switcher

I suspect the inclusion of /usr/share/info was designed to avert this
problem, however that's clearly an incomplete solution now. Is there a
reason we need to put /usr/share/info ahead of all the other default
search paths, or should we just do the same "prepend fink to the

Take a look at "fink info postgresql81", which has some usage notes.

I have +20k messages in a folder, the 10.4 version is much better, it  
uses a form of maildir instead of mbox, like in 10.3. It can be a  
little slow to access the folder, but the messages show up fine after  
they cache is loaded :)
