Topic review - Mac OS X --- cannot find Singular on Fink

Dear All,


I've solved the problem. The description on the Singular pages of how to install Singular under Fink says:

1.Start your Fink Commander

2. Select in the preferences: under Fink: use packages from unstable

3. After updating the package list, there should appear "singular 3.0.0" and "singular-doc 3.0.0" as packages

What I failed to realize is that after step 1, it is necessary to run the command "fink selfupdate" --- it's not enough to update the package list.

To be more precise, after step 1, run "fink selfupdate", "fink index", and "fink scanpackages" (either from Fink Commander or from the command line). Then the two Singular packages appear as they should in Fink Commander's package list and can be installed.


Best,

Peter

Dear All,


I've just tried installing Singular from Fink on my Mac. I've followed the instructions - have enabled the unstable tree in Fink Commander etc. But the packages (Singular and Singular-doc) just don't appear! It's like they've been removed from the Fink server.

I did this successfully a month ago on another Mac - why isn't it working now?


Best,

Peter
