Fink help needed!

[tyma]

I installed Xdarwin 1.2.0 (XFree86 4.3.0) and the latest Fink package last night. When I run Fink Commander, it only shows 50 packages, 36 installed.

I *know* there's more than that.

I can't even find GIMP in the list, which is why I installed it all.

Help?

Thanks,
Tim.

It might just be a problem with fink commander. In a terminal (iterm, term, Xdarwin, etc) try this:

fink install gimp

If it is just a problem with fink commander, then it will install.

I tried that, this is what I got:

[Tim:~] timhuntley% fink install gimp
sudo /sw/bin/fink install gimp
Password:
Information about 50 packages read in 2 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'gimp'!

Are you on panther?

Try this if you are...



try updating the package descriptions:

fink selfupdate (if it asks, rsync is the suggested method)
fink index
