Re: [Fink-beginners] install pkg

[James R. <jam...@ma...>]

Alexander,

I think I have things working now.  The distinctions between octave, octave382 and 'sudo apt-get install octave382-dev=3.8.2-4 octave382=3.8.2-4' (recommended by fink when it 'Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies!' were lost on this newbie, but I seem to have muddled through.

Thanks for all your help.  

Jim

It wasn’t enabled at fink-0.38.2 because I didn’t know that packages had been uploaded at that time.
