I recently installed Apple's X11 pacakge and go it working on my PowerMac. I'm
able to run X-apps from my NetBSD and Linux boxes.
Last night I installed Fink 0.5.0a and sucessfully installed GIMP as a Binary
package. Fink did trip over my Apple X11 installation via "apt-get install gimp."
But, after installing Fink Commander, and running "apt-get install -F" at what I
remember as it's suggestion, and installing Apple's X11 SDK (also at Fink's
suggestion), fink finally recognized my X11 installation and cleaned itself up.
Gimp installed sucessfully, and runs great.
I then tried to install xv, which is a source only installation. Fink downloaded
the files, but then chocked on configuration. It complained that "cc: couldn't
create executables." Exact error messages:
./configure --prefix=/sw --enable-fink --mandir=/sw/share/man
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking whether the C compiler (cc -L/sw/lib) works... no
configure: error: ionstallation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
### execution of ./configure failed, exit code 1
Failed: compiling dlcompat-20021117-1 failed
I tried compiling other source only packages like rpl and dpk-bootstrap and met
with similar problems. Some packages seem to depend on g++ being there. "unrar"
is one.
What am I doing wrong?
