#1637 Can't resolve dependency "libtiff" for package "povray-3.61-1004"
When trying to install povray on my MacBook, I get the following error:
fink install povray
Information about 8191 packages read in 6 seconds.
Can't resolve dependency "libtiff" for package "povray-3.61-1004" (no matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.
I do have installed the libtiff:
fink list |grep -i libtiff
libtiff-bin 4.0.3-4 Executables for libtiff5 package
i libtiff5 4.0.3-4 libtiff5 developer files
i libtiff5-shlibs 4.0.3-4 TIFF image format library and tools
and the packages I have access to are:
fink scanpackages
Updating the list of locally available binary packages.
Scanning dists/local/main/binary-darwin-x86_64
Scanning dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-x86_64
Is this a problem in the definition of the package or anything I have to fix from my side?
Thanks,
Teo
You do NOT have "libtiff" installed. You have libtiff5.
You didn't bother to specify what OS X version you are on, but I assume that you're on 10.9. We are still in the process of cleaning up the dependencies for 10.9 packages, so for right now you should regard povray as not being installable.
Well Mr.. If you watch more carefully the ticket, you see:
Milestone: 10.9
does this mean anything to you?
and again.. libtiff5 is the only package that contains TIFF that appears in my installation.
Having said that. Thank you.
My bad on the milestone, sorry.
Anyway, the fact that libtiff5 contains the term libtiff is completely and utterly irrelevant to the issue. Our 10.9 distribution doesn't have a package with the EXACT NAME libtiff. The dependency engine tracks packages, not files.
I pulled povray from the 10.9 distribution until it can be updated.
I found a package description for an updated version in an email. If you save the files to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo you should be able to install that version. Then let us know if it works and if so we'll add it. If not, we can try to fix whatever is going wrong.
I copied the files as you suggested but not too much different:
# ls -l /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/

I guess we can wait.
Odd. The povray.info that I attached above uses libtiff5 instead of libtiff.
Ah, I see what went wrong. That version of the .info file wasn't set up correctly so fink fell back to the regular one. Try the povray.info in this item (the patch is the same).
Tried again:
# fink -v install povray

is there anything else that I should do rather than just copying those two files in : /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/ ?
The file you gave me contains now only libtiff5, but for some reason the .info file processed looks like the old one.
other options to feed fink, to be more verbose at this stage of build?
A couple of things to try:
1 Use "fink index -f". fink may be using an older cached version of the .info file.
2 Try "fink -m install povray". That runs additional validation checks.
did not work-If I understand correctly it is still validating the package:
/sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/povray.info
follows commands and output:
# fink index -f

Package looks good!

Hmm.
What do you get from "fink validate /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/povray.info" ?
Also, verify that the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf still has local/main in it.
In file fink.conf, I do have the "local/main"
Basepath: /sw
RootMethod: sudo
Trees: local/main stable/main
Distribution: 10.9
SelfUpdateTrees: 10.7
and if run:
# fink validate /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/povray.info
#
I get no output. Shortly than a second, I get the bash back.
# fink -m validate /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/povray.info

Package looks good!
now the question is.. how can I force to use this .info (assuming it is not correctly accessed)?
Try removing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/povray.info and see what happens.
after removing : /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/graphics/povray.info it went through the compilation process. Although it failed, first in downloading povray 3.7.0 (apparently the url on fink servers does not exist) - which I got fixed downloading directly from the source URL - and secondly during povray compilation.
I attach the error messages, if it is of any help to you.
I'll be waiting for povray to be officially available - since then, I guess one can still compile it himself.
Thanks.
The download issue is normal. The sources don't show up on our servers until the corresponding package version is actually in the distribution.
Unfortunately, your errors are unreadable. This happens not infrequently when using more than one build job.
Ah, I see why the versioning wasn't working. 3.7.0.0 is lower than 3.61 according to the dpkg package manager.

I had a chance to try it on my own 10.9 system. It looks like the error is the following:

Closing. povray has been updated to 3.7.0.0 in 10.7 and up, which should fix all the issues listed here.
