Re: [Fink-users] nth install fails on macOS 10.13 - missing aclocal

Hi Alexander,

Thank you so much for the fast response!

Currently the problem is solved, but in a tricky way.

Before sending a message to the list I've tried to install automake, but it was a kind of broken.
I used command "fink install automake" without a version number.
Then there was an error message like: fink can't safely install ... use apt-get install ... instead
I ran this suggested command and automake has been installed in a half broken state.
There was aclocal-1.15 binary in /sw/bin, but there was no simple aclocal as link to it.

Then I ran clean up and installed nmap, mtr-nox and lynx.
I believe one of these packages had proper automake dependency, so automake has been installed in a proper way with a link.

After it I just ran as usual "fink install wget" and it worked fine :)

Best regards,
Paully.
