Type in terminal: cd ~ (Make sure you're in your home directory) Then: pico .cshrc (Create a .cshrc file that runs when new terminal are started) This is what I have in my ~/.cshrc file: source /sw/bin/init.csh date set prompt="\! [%{\033[32m%}Sao%{\033[0m%}...

lethe, Unfortunately, it will not work, if you decide to use PHP/Apache installed via Fink, you will not be able to use the system supplied ones. Meaning that if you install apache via Fink, you probably will break a significant portion of very useful functionality installed via OS X...

lethe, 1.- To configure fink to use unstable: If you only want one or two specific packages, it is safer to copy those .info files (and their associated .patch files, if there are any) from /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo. If you want Fink...

lethe, I haven't tested it myself, but the 'fink PHP package version 4.1.2-1', in unstable, should support GD, according to this dialogue between two lead fink developers: -------------------------------- Dave Morrison: OK, so I am working on PHP 4.1.2. Problem is, it tries to use gd...

lethe, If you know what you are doing, it will probably work. I suggest you to read the following before you start: http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/shared.php#cflags and http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/index.php also, check the fink-devel mailing list...

jcicenia, You didn't answer any of my questions and requests for information. Sorry, I am not able to help you in this way, as I'm not a magician. MacOS X version. XFree86 version. Fink version. Apple Developer Tools version. Also, are you behind a firewall? Cheers...

Somebody forgot to answer... Cheers...

jcicenia, You probably don't have the Apple Dev Tools installed.(You need at least the December release) So, why dont you try to install with dselect or apt-get: run in terminal: sudo apt-get update the run: sudo apt-get install ImageMagick Let see if this works, if...

jcicenia, Please, I need more information: MacOS X version. XFree86 version. Fink version. Apple Developer Tools version. To run 'fink selfupdate-cvs' and install from source, you need the December Developer Tools installed. Cheers...

jcicenia, The problem is that sourceforge changed their download sites since the last time you selfupdated. (Actually, what's happening is instead of the file you request, you get an HTML page with options to select a mirror) Please, run in terminal: 'fink selfupdate-cvs' Then...

John Philip, I understand. Good luck and...cross your fingers. Let me know. Cheers...

John Philip, Unfortunately, the Adaptec SCSI drivers have been the source of many problems as they were a little late to release new drivers for MacOS X. But, Adaptec for long has been supporting the Mac. And I wonder whom is to blame in this case. Yes, Apple easily could have added...

On pure Darwin: <<The usual way to start it is via 'startx' from the console; that starts both the server and some initial clients like the window manager and a terminal emulator with a shell. Just type in the console: startx You can customize what is started through several files...

alexachucarro, Have you recently upgraded you system to MacOS X 10.1.5 ? There are several reports of 'disabled cell clock' messages appearing in the system log (/var/log/system.log) and in the output of the command 'dmesg', after the computer awakes from a long sleep. <<Jun 12...

bbloke, The message that keeps repeating: UniNEnet: 0 0 UniNEnet:: putToSleep - disabled cell clock!!! looks linked to the problem you mentioned in your first post: <<...the clock tends to show the "old" (eg yesterday's) date and time still>> I read several reports of users...
