Yikes! Is anyone else getting a segfault when trying to do a selfupdate? I’m on Panther. Here’s what I’m getting:
./install.sh: line 37: 4107 Segmentation fault mkdir -p “$basepath”
### execution of ./install.sh failed, exit code 139
Failed: installing fink-0.19.2-1 failed
I had no problem, I am using Panther as well but have experienced no problems yet.
There is an error with finks versions of unix commands (I noticed right after installing KWord (witch installed KDE). You can fix this by deleting /sw/bin/(any command that gives you the error (there are a few of them)) . The apple ones will take over and everything will be peachy
A small list of bad commands is:
ls
ln
dir
dircolors
mkdir
rm
rmdir
… possibly more of them, I just cannot remember.
There is also a perl script that will fix the problem that Fink provides (According to someone on support.apple.com – I, however have not seen such a script.)
updated without a hitch.
I installed it a few moments ago and i am compiling software at this point. looks good so far.
when I try to run startkde, I get all sorts of IPC errors… any ideas?
Thanks for the tip. It turns out that the fix was in the Fink FAQ. Sigh. It’s a prebinding problem, fixed with the following command:
sudo /sw/var/lib/fink/prebound/update-package-prebinding.pl -f
Onward Fink!
