Thread: [Visualpython-users] compiling visual on intel-mac

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Does anyone have any experience compiling vpython on an intel-based  
mac?  Is there any reason to think this should not work?  Any tips  
would be appreciated.

The vpython package in Fink (visual-py23 or visual-py24) has no problem 
compiling on intel.

I do not see visual listed when running fink on intel (neither in stable 
or unstable).

Very strange. Are you sure you are using the 10.4 tree? In unstable, 
there is visual-py2{3,4}-3.2.9-1002. It will go to stable if there is 
any positive user feedback.

I just started using my intel mini, and installed fink following the 
instructions; I assume this will use the 10.4 tree by default; I assume 
that the line "Distribution: 10.4" in the fink.conf tells me that I use 
the 10.4 tree.  I added unstable/min and ustable/crypto to the fink.conf 
file, updated the index to get the unstable packages, but I do not see the 
visual if I do fink list.  I am not sure where things go wrong.  Fink 
finds a total of 1754 packages, but none of them contain visual.

Something must have gone wrong with your selfupdate then. Fink 
10.4/unstable has something like 5650 packages. What selfupdate method 
did you choose? You should use selfupdate-rsync. The selfupdate-cvs 
method is currently broken for anonymous cvs users, because Sourceforge 
broke their anonymous cvs access and don't seem to be in a hurry to 
repair it.

You are correct; I did the rsynch update and this immediately solved the 
problem and I see that visual is available.

Thanks very much!
