Fink is software, so I think this is in the right forum. Anyhow, I have fink now in Panther—as I did in Jag—but I can't install any of the apps I wanted to, like Pine and Lynx. It keeps failing to compile or some such thing. I'm a pretty basic Unixer, so I don't know what's up. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. Here's what happens:

fink install pine
sudo /sw/bin/fink install pine

Looks like you might have old .info files (latest pine in fink is 4.58-21, you have 4.53-1)

Do fink selfupdate-rsync and try again. alot of the fink packages need to be updated to work properly with 10.3.

also, make sure your dev tools are up to date and your including the init.csh in your shell's rc file.

--- EDIT:

looking at that again, this line suggests the dev tools aren't properly installed:

Code:
/build: line 1: make: command not found

make should be in /usr/bin. If it's not there, it wouldn't hurt to reinstall the dev-tools CD. And you should still run the fink update line - packages go stable for 10.3 frequently.

Lol! I've been struggling with getting Fink to work all freaking day. It's the first time I've done this and I am currently in my second install b/c it didn't work correctly in the first go. But it seems like it might work this time. I am right now crunching a gimp compilation, but I wouldn't know if it works until later.
But what went wrong the first time was that I hadn't installed the Apple SDK thingy so everything got screwed up. SDK is an optinal install and must be installed alongside with Apple X11 if you want fink to work correctly on Panther. There are probably other options but that's what I had to do. You'll find SDK on the third install cd.

Update: I am running Gimp and everything is fine. The missing SDK libraries was the problem.

Doing the Dev tools first, and that should fix things. Thanks for your help, dudes. Nerds to the rescue—I love you guys. And NSFG is forever in debt to Earth Mk. II, of course.

natch

...now where's my pocket protector..?

Bam.

All installed. Everything's updated, including Fink. I'm nerding it with with IRSSI in Unix.

Lol. We do have xchat, so why?

irssi can be detached from the terminal and persist through logouts and accessed remotely through ssh if you run it inside a screen session. Useful for people on a multi-user system or move around a lot and want/need to access their system remotely.

Aside from that... eh.. it's just cool?

I see. I've seen it demonstrated for me once. Pretty nice.

Can irssi handle UTF-8 etc encodings?

Any luck getting irssi-ssl to compile / install with fink?

[MindFad]

I never tried compiling the ssl version.
