[Scribus] Fixing my fink scribus-aqua Leopard install

[Eric Watson]

Hi, all.

Thanks to Martin Costabel, I was able to fix my scribus-aqua install  
after upgrading to OS X Leopard. I wanted to share in case anyone else  
runs into the same problems.

Before I upgraded to Leopard, I had a working install of scribus-aqua  
1.3.3.9, installed using Martin's fink package. My upgrade to Leopard  
broke fink, and, since I needed scribus working right away, I was  
trying everything I could. Finally, I got the macports version of  
1.3.3.9 working on Leopard, but it's not an aqua version, and doesn't  
work nearly as well on OS X, so I really wanted that aqua version  
working again.

The main problem was that the fink package wasn't compiling properly,  
because it was trying to use non-fink Qt3 packages that it found on my  
system. The errors were pretty cryptic, though, and it was only with  
Martin's help that I was able to track down the problems. I've  
included examples of the errors at the end of this message.

As an overview, I had to

1. FIX X11
2. UPDATE FINK
3. REMOVE THE MACPORTS SCRIBUS INSTALL AND QT3 LIBRARIES
4. UNINSTALL SCRIBUS-AQUA FROM FINK
5. TEMPORARILY MOVE SOME QT3 LIBRARIES FROM /Library/Frameworks/
6. REINSTALL SCRIBUS-AQUA FROM FINK
7. REPLACE QT3 FRAMEWORKS TO /Library/Frameworks/

So, in more detail:

1. FIX X11

This requires downloading and installing a new X11 package. I  
installed v2.1.1, and that worked fine. It looks like v2.1.3 is the  
current version. I haven't updated to that version yet. More on X11  
for Leopard and links to the current X11 package at

  http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz


2. UPDATE FINK

If you have upgraded to Leopard already, but haven't updated fink,

  $ sudo fink selfupdate
  $ sudo fink reinstall fink

More detail about upgrading fink can be found at

  http://www.finkproject.org/news/


3. REMOVE THE MACPORTS SCRIBUS INSTALL AND QT3 LIBRARIES

  $ sudo port uninstall scribus
  $ sudo port uninstall qt3 @3.3.8_3+darwin_9
  $ sudo port uninstall qt3 @3.3.8_2+darwin_9


4. UNINSTALL SCRIBUS-AQUA FROM FINK

I'm not sure all of this was necessary, but it's what worked for me.

  $ sudo fink purge scribus-aqua
  $ cd /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/text/
  $ ls
  ghostscript-fonts_8.11-3_darwin-i386.deb
  ghostscript_8.61-2_darwin-i386.deb
  scribus-aqua_1.3.3.9-2_darwin-i386.deb
  $ sudo rm *


5. TEMPORARILY MOVE SOME QT3 LIBRARIES FROM /Library/Frameworks/

I'm not sure what application installed these Qt3 libraries, or even  
whether anything is still using them, but I moved them only  
temporarily just to be safe.

  $ mkdir /tmp/Qt
  $ sudo mv /Library/Frameworks/Qt* /tmp/Qt


6. REINSTALL SCRIBUS-AQUA FROM FINK

  $ sudo fink selfupdate
  $ sudo fink install scribus-aqua


7. REPLACE QT3 FRAMEWORKS TO /Library/Frameworks/

  $ sudo mv /tmp/Qt/* /Library/Frameworks



Fink places a link to the Scribus application at

  /Library/Application/Fink/Scribus.app

Happy Scribusing!

Eric




P.S. Below are samples of errors I was receiving during this process:

. .. . ... .


fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual  
dependency. The
candidates:

(1)	ghostscript: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
(2)	ghostscript-esp: Enhanced GNU Ghostscript with better CJK and  
printer support
(3)	ghostscript6: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF, v6.01

Pick one: [1] 1
Can't resolve dependency "system-xfree86-dev (>= 2:7.2-1)" for package
"fontconfig2-dev-2.4.1-5" (no matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.
