Help with Fink..

[afflictedd2]

Hi guys,

I've downloaded the binary installer for fink, and I'm under the Leopard OS. I am trying to get the Gnu Fortran compiler g77, but I can't find it. Is it just not available or do I need to add other repos.

Thanks,

Ed.

Hi guys,

g77 is most certainly available. Download, install, and use Fink Commander. It takes care of that stuff for you.

 

[afflictedd2]

Hmm still the same problem.

You may have to adjust your software sources to allow for unstable apps, as the g77 project screen linked to by MisterMe shows that g77 for 10.5 is only available for Intel-based Macintosh computers in an "unstable" release version.

Are you using an Intel-based Macintosh?

 

[afflictedd2]

Yes, I am. I have the latest macbook pro, and I think that one is intel based right?

Look here, under Q2:

http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/help/faq.php

Did you do that?

 

[afflictedd2]

Yeah I just did all of that :\ and I still can't see the g77 package.

$ perl -version
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

The number of packages seemed to increase but still can't find the g77 package

 

[MisterMe]

Read this.

Shoot man.. I give up on this.... I'll just make install from source.

Any particular reason that you would rather use an obsolete compiler that is no longer in development rather than its replacement?

 

[afflictedd2]

Sighs... No it's fink.. I am still unable to find fortran compiler packages.. even gfortran. I just other tools that work with it, but not gfortran itself . I might try configuring it again, but it was easier to find a gfortran*.dmg somewhere on the web.
