[Fink-beginners] error updating or compiling Fink

[Marek S. <mar...@ya...>]

Hello all! 


I am on OS X.4.11 MBP (2.4 GHz). I have had strange problems to update my
fink installation. Before bothering this mailing list, I thought it would be
better, to try a clean install first and see what happens. But strange,
compiling Fink from source produces the same error message as before!

So what I did so far, to make a new install :

  %  cd /sw
  %  mv ~/.xinitrc ~/xinitrc_out
  %  sudo mv src/ ~/Desktop/
  %  sudo rm -rf *              # removes all the rest out of /sw
  %  sudo mv ~/Desktop/src/ .   # removes back all source files into /sw
...
                                # download and untar fink-0.27.8
  %  sudo mv ~/Desktop/fink-0.27.8/ .src/
  %  sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11 /Applications/XDarwin.app
  %  

>From InstallerDisk (MacOS X Install - for 10.4):
  -> Optional Installs -> X11
AND
  -> Xcode Tools -> Packages -> X11SDK.pkg

  
  %  cd src/fink-0.27.8/
  %  more README
  %  more INSTALL
  %  ./bootstrap

I accepted all defaults. It seems, that everything is installed, but
probably not all? In any case I have the same errors like before, trying to
update fink. Before pasting the errors, I would like to ask you, what you
would recommend me: Do I have to stick with the Apple X11 installation, or
install one of these Window Managers, if I want to install mainly scid (the
incredible Chess Database) Crafty and some Chess stuff more, and out of
curiosity Open Office and gimp? Thank you for help!


Have a fruitful happy New Year 2008
