Can I use fink with the package database down?

Hi folks,

I noticed that the fink package database is down.  Does that mean that  
it's not usable until it's back up?

thanks,
graham

Fink is usable, it's just the database (separate from the repositories  
themselves) that's down.

Re: Can I use fink with the package database down?

Thanks David,

I must be doing something wrong.  I just installed fink on Leopard and  
I brought dselect up and I can't find mysql in the [S]elect list.  I  
would like to install mysql from source.  I am only interested in the  
mysqclient libraries and header files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
graham

Re: Can I use fink with the package database down?

I think I understand.   dselect only shows the binary packages,  
right?  I need to use fink to install from source, correct?

thanks,
graham

Thanks Martin. I've made this change in ocaml-3.10.0-1001.

Problems trying to upgrade fink

Hi folks,

I've had fink on my machine for several years now and am trying to  
bring my releases up to date. I'm getting a string of error messages.  
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get things running again?

Catbert:apt emarsh$ fink install
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/cc1plus is not executable!
Information about 4428 packages read in 2 seconds.
No packages to install.

Difficult to say what this means without knowing anything about your 
system. Are you perhaps trying to upgrade a Fink installed on Mac OSX 
10.3 directly to 10.5? I don't know if anyone has ever succeeded in 
doing this. You'll lose less time if you install a fresh Fink from scratch.

Re: Terrible start


Sorry for the lack of details.

My OS Version: 10.4.11

I actually used this page

http://www.finkproject.org/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php#xinitrc

In order to set up the environment, and I am using Apple's X11

Do you believe is a good idea to upgrade to 10.5 in order for XDarwin to
function properly?

Thanks a lot.

Trying to get some more data on those failures ...
1) Are you on a G4 ? (I've learned to infer from the command line..)
   (and 10.4 or 10.5? though probably no longer relevant at this stage).
    What is the ouput of 'sysctl hw.model' ?
2) Could you please try again with the info file

http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/experimental/jfmertens/main/finkinfo/sci/atlas.info

I hope you should get further _ that your problem was the same as some
other people encountered _, and, more specifically, that this
time 'vector' is no longer undeclared, but the error msgs are :

error: can't convert value to a vector
and :
error: can't convert between vector values of different size

(Or better _ you get through _ but I don't really hope for this..)
