STOP POSTING FINK HINTS AS OSX HINTS
Authored by: perdedor on Oct 09, '02 11:42:07AM

I'm thinking it's something fink related, which is all so often the case when I see these interesting hints here that seem to work for the submitter, and the editor, yet never seem to work on any over a 1/2 dozen machines I have to mess with, because none of them have fink.

Not fink

It is not fink. I have the book on my machine, but I do not have fink installed. And stop shouting.

This is not fink related...

Also, I do NOT have fink installed on the machine I use to test every hint that's published. The only "non-standard" stuff on my machine is the Dev Tools, which I recommend that everyone install anyway.

I don't have the time, unfortunately, to test every hint on two different configurations. But rest assured, almost nothing published in the last nine months or so has been a "fink only" hint (unless it's a hint that directly mentions fink, of course), as it's been about that long since I've used it...

STOP POSTING FINK HINTS AS OSX HINTS

I have no idea what made you think this hint was fink related in any way. Fink doesn't even install anything out of /sw.

Why so anti-fink anyway? It really makes everything a hell of a lot easier if you want to use unix stuff.

Most likely, this book is installed as part of the "BSD SDK" of the developer tools, which is NOT enabled by default (you have to check it). (this is different from the BSD part of the OS, that is checked by default)
