Hello all, Long time Linux user, just got my first iMac (21.5" version). Quite impressed so far... Somebody told me about "Fink", website here: http://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en ...and wondering what some of you experienced users think of it. Seems like a cool way to run some open-source apps that are not natively available on the Mac. For instance, the 'Pan' newsreader that I am fond of in Linux, would love to be able to run that on the Mac. Any thoughts on this Fink thing? Does it work well? Thanks. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as the warp core breached.

I tried it a couple of times. It worked, but I didn't like it.
I have downloaded and installed several open source items on
my Mac with neither fink nor Darwinports. All but one compiled
and worked on OS X without modification.
The exception had two compile errors, both because Mac OS had
a newer version of BerkeleyDB than the people supporting that
code. Adding
, NULL
two each of two function calls fixed it, and the compiler error
got me to the right line immediately. Figuring out the fix
was a little longer (finding the called function in BerkeleyDB)
but not bad.

When I first started using OS X I used fink quite a bit. Now I don't. It worked fine, but in the end, once I realized that emacs could run well on the OS X desktop, I started phasing out fink and much X11 usage.

*sigh* I just read this message in another news group, yet it's not marked as read here because you multi-posted it rather than cross posting it, which means I now get to mark it read in each individual group manually. It also means I don't get to see everyone's responses to you in a single new group, but have to go digging in each individual news group to find all replies. What a pain. Please do not multi-post. If you send the same message to multiple news groups separately, it forces the rest of us to download your message multiple times. Also, it means if someone replies to one of your posts in one news group, the other places you posted the message will not see that reply! This is known as "multi-posting", and is generally regarded as inconsiderate. If you want to post the same message to multiple news groups, please include all of the news groups, separated by commas, in the "Newsgroups" line of a single post, like so: Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.system,comp.sys.mac.apps This way the message is simultaneously posted to all specified news groups. More importantly, when someone replies to your message in one group, that reply is automatically sent in all other news groups to which you sent the post! This allows all involved to see the entire conversation, no matter which news group from which they access your post. This is called "cross-posting" and is the proper way to do it. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

I didn't see this group initially, being new to the Mac newsgroups, and had already posted it in *ONE* other group, so pasted it here later. Big whoop. I have likely been on Usenet since you were in diapers, and don't need your posting lessons. I know all about cross/multi posting, and don't normally ever do such a thing. Get over it and have a nice day. It's notable that you provided absolutely *ZERO* content to the thread. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

The FACT of the US debt crisis is that George 'The Burning' Bush v2 ran up the debt to record levels never seen before, as did his demi-god Ronnie The RayGun before him. A $3 TRILLION war crime and TRILLIONS in tax 'relief' to the ultra-rich can do that very quickly. Obama's just trying to pay off the tab the Republicans ran up. Your reaction's like criticizing the doctor who's trying to cure the lung cancer you got by smoking 3 packs a day. Wake up, Dude! It's **YOUR** fault! Oh, and welcome to comp.sys.mac.*.

And Ronnie even raised taxes because too much had been cut and he wanted to reduce the rate of increase in the deficit/debt (note just reduce the rate of increase). It took a Democrat to balance the budget, but that went off the rails as soon as the Republicans got back in office. Party of fiscal responsibility my ass.

Latter not remotely true, by the way. The balanced budget had peaked in 1999 and was back in the red before the first Bush Budget in FY 2002) 2001 would have been passed in October of 2000. If you look at the year over year %age increases in spending, you will find that they accelerated the last couple of years of the Clinton years. Basically, there was one, brief shining moment where the economy was so breathtakingly overheated that money came in faster than the combined efforts of BOTH parties could shove it out the door. > -- "Even I realized that money was to politicians what the ecalyptus tree is to koala bears: food, water, shelter and something to crap on." ---PJ O'Rourke

Looking around the web it's breathtaking the sheer volume of lies spewed by the idiot fringe about the deficit and debt and spending, etc. Be very careful about what facts and figures you accept as correct. -- "It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty ‹ to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves."

No, Fred, it's a sig. That's all it is. Anyone is entitled to put anything they want in a sig (less than 4 lines, of course!) and you should just mind your own business about it. If you don't want to read sigs, tell your newsreader not to display them. It can't get any simpler than that. What? Newswatcher won't let you do that? Tough shit.

That's all it is. Anyone is entitled to put > anything they want in a sig... Yep. Just like anyone is entitled to bitch about it. Welcome to the world. If you don't want people to read it, don't put it there. If you put it there and they bitch about it... well, I guess you are entitled to bitch about the bitching. Not that anyone has to pay any attention to your bitches.

You can call it whatever you'd like. I just call it a sig. Not the same as arguing politics in the body of a post, and let's just leave it at that, OK? -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

I agree with you on that; I vehemently disagree with the sig in question, though. But I'm not going to debate it here either.
