Re: How do I uninstall XDarwin and its dependencies?

That was correct--I didn't have the X11SDK.pkg installed.

After I installed it "fink self-udpate" was confused about inconsistent dependencies, so I started the whole process over from scratch.  This time everything went through without a hitch.  Thanks for your help.

The presence of system-xfree86-manual-install in the package list
indicates that X11SDK isn't installed, or that a critical file got
dropped by the installer during the install process.  (Re)Install the

Re: How do I uninstall XDarwin and its dependencies?

I'm glad it's working.

After going to Apple's X11 you may need to do some rebuilding.  If you 
get any errors when you try to run a program in which it gripes about 
libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib, then "fink rebuild" the package that 
provides the program (if you're not sure "dpkg -S <filename>" will help 
you find the package that installed it).

xmlto install failure

I get the error below when trying to install xmlto.  It would seem that
one of the getopt packages in necessary.  I'm not sure which is best (I
give a list at the bottom of this email).  Is a dependency missing from
xmlto?

Thanks,
Bob

It used to be there but has been removed in the latest update. From the 
CVS log:

   OS X has suitable getopt as of at least 10.3

Apparently this is not true.

Installing the getoptbin package will let you build xmlto.

You will need to force this if you want others to have the same.

The Python stuff is probably new. And since the package installs a 
python module, you will need to decide how to handle it.

However, I got the following error during the install phase:
> ..

Looks like you want to remove some garbage from your root directory now. ;-)

In the InstallScript, try

   make install DESTDIR=%d

instead of

   make install prefix=%i

And you will also have to choose something non-empty for $pkgpythondir. 
In configure.in I see

pkgpythondir=$PYTHON_PREFIX"/lib/python"$PYTHON_VERSION"/site-packages/wesnoth"

which should work automatically if "python" is one of Fink's Python 
versions (but then you need to choose which one), but if you want to 
keep the system Python, you will need to replace this by some directory 
belonging to wesnoth-devel and set PYTHONPATH at runtime.

X11 includes/libs not in /usr/X11R6

Hello,

I am having big troubles with Fink and my X11 installation. Here is
the full story:

I had a working installation of Fink, with X11.app (Apple version)
working fine and X software installed from Fink compiling and running
properly. I then decided to give a go to XDarwin and therefore, I
followed the instructions in the Fink documentation to replace X11.app
with the xorg package. That worked fine, but I had problems when
running applications (in particular Gimp.app) with XDarwin.
I then decided to revert back to X11.app, so I removed the xorg
package and reinstalled X11.app from the OSX (10.4, Intel)
installation CD as discussed in the Fink documentation. The installed
programs were working properly, but when I decided to compile new
packages in Fink relying on X11, I got some problems:
/usr/X11R6/include only contains a X11/bitmaps directory, no other
headers. All the Fink packages configure scripts are looking there to
find the compilation headers for X11.
I tried reinstalling X11SDK.app, removing the system-xfree86 packages
(no much luck in that) and reinstalling them... and nothing seemed to
work.

I then decided to start from a clean Fink and X11 installation, so I
removed /etc/X11R6, /usr/X11R6, X11.app and /sw completely.
I then reinstalled X11.app and X11SDK.app from the Apple CD and
downloaded Fink again. I installed Fink, ran a selfupdate and after a
full day of compilation and pressing 4 (to get the right mirror), I
had a fresh installation of Fink.

Now, I have the packages system-xfree86, system-xfree86-dev,
system-xfree86-shlibs and  system-xfree86-manual-install installed
(according to fink list -i system-xfree86), but the /usr/X11R6 is
still at the same stage as before, with only includes from X11/bitmaps
and missing libs. When I try to compile a package of Fink relying on
X11, it still fails, not finding this or that header (depending on the
package).

I checked and I do have a directory
/Developers/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/ which contains all the
missing includes and libs. However, I don't know how to tell Fink to
use these (or how to make them go in the right place) and can't just
symlink as /usr/X11R6 already contains "some" libs and fonts...

Any help and recommendations would be great, if you have any idea?

X11.app is just the display server.  The documentation tells you to 
install the X11User package, which installs more than just X11.app.

They are autogenerated virtual packages, not subject to user manipulation.

You really didn't need to remove /sw, for future reference.  Flushing 
out the X11 distribution files normally suffices.

I assume you meant that you installed the X11User package.   Just 
installing X11.app would give you a totally broken X11 distribution, 
with no executables, libraries, ...

The latter indicates that your X11 installation isn't fully set up.

Try removing /Library/Receipts/X11SDK.pkg and reinstalling the X11SDK 
package.  Apple's installer has been known to drop a file here and there 
during an installation, but this is the first that I've heard of it 
dropping a big chunk of the installation.

The libraries should have been installed by the X11User package, so if 
your X11 setup is otherwise working properly, then there's probably only 
an issue with files from the X11SDK.

psync problems: Is my perl messed up?

Hi folks:

To my knowledge, I have not tampered with my system perl  
installation.  I've installed psync with fink, and macosx-file-pm,  
upon which it depends.

When I try to use psync, I get the following:

zsh-% sudo /sw/bin/psync -d / /Volumes/Scottlab_700GB

Can't locate MacOSX/File.pm in  <at> INC ( <at> INC contains: /System/Library/ 
Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 / 
Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 / 
Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level / 
Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/ 
Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/ 
5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at /sw/bin/psync line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /sw/bin/psync line 14.

This concerns me because the fink perl path (or whatever it is  
called) is obviously not in there.  Is psync messed up, or is it more  
fundamental?  The fink program itself works fine, so I assume perl is  
ok, but I am not sure what to try next.

I'm trying to install MacOSX::File using cpan as a work-around, but  
if there is a problem with fink's psync, this would only mask it.

Thanks.

Bill
