Fink help!! Not installing in Mavericks!
Question
I just installed OS X Mavericks on my Mac.
Now I'm trying to install Fink via the instructions here
I have gone up to this line command:
./bootstrap
But after that I am not able to run this line command:
/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh
... because there is no bin directory under sw.
Is it perhaps because of Mavericks (the instructions have not been updated for Mavericks because it is so new).
What can I do to fix it? (Paging Fink experts.)
Solution
You didn't specify the version of fink
you are using, but according to the Fink Announcement mailing list
Note: be advised that fink-0.35.2 does NOT work for OS 10.9. If you are testing on 10.9 prior to the official release date, you will want to grab an archive from https://github.com/fink/fink/tree/Futureproof2
And in the Fink Beginners mailing list
We've added support for 10.9 into the master branch of the github repository (https://github.com/fink/fink). Folks that were using the "Futureproof2" feature branch may want to update their git checkouts appropriately to pick up changes that get made after the merge and before we do a release.
Some other notes:
- There is no 10.9 support in any released fink, version 0.35.2 or earlier. (The first 10.9 support release version will probably be 0.36.0)
- There is going to be no supported upgrade path from any earlier OS X. The document /sw/share/doc/fink/INSTALL has information about how to capture your list of installed packages.
Update
On October 31st, fink 0.36.0 was released which does support OS X 10.9.
