Er, Martin, why are you building the software anyway? There's a
pre-built version in fink which works fine with the current Apple X
server; just use dselect or apt-get to install it.
I know several Mac OS X users at this site, and those that use "fink
install" style automatic builds of software seem to have far more
problems than people installing binary packages through apt-get or
dselect.
Fink seems to push its users in the direction of source installations
whenever possible. However, I've made even less progress with the
binary installation. With FinkCommander, I get this:
Failed to fetch
http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.5.1/
main/binary-darwin-powerpc//editors/xemacs_21.4.9-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
Size mismatch
With a command-line apt-get, it says
Failed to fetch
http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists/fink-0.5.1/
main/binary-darwin-powerpc//editors/xemacs_21.4.9-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
Could not connect to 8080:80 (0.0.31.144). - connect (60 Operation
timed out)
It says this even though I can use wget from the command line to fetch
this very file. And even if I put it in fink's download area, fink
doesn't notice it.
