Re: [Fink-beginners] gv problems

[Christian H. <sag...@gm...>]

Hello Again,

Thanks for your patience and walking me through this.  I decided to
"cheat" somewhat by simply installing ggv, which seems to work
beautifully.  So, although I havent fixed the problem with gv, I have
succesfully ignored it.

One last question.  With Fink Commander, is there a way to completely
erase an installed package?  For example, I wish to uninstall gv
(since it doesnt work for me anyway), and some others (namely gcc...I
cant foresee needing it).

Thanks for everything, this is an amazing resource.

Cheers,
Christian
