Re: gEDA-user: Probably parenthesis mismatch error on OS X

[Steven Ball <hamster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First off, I followed your page at http://www.ghz.cc/charles/fink/ to  
configure my system to use the 'unstable' branch, and then followed  
instructions from these guys:  http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ 
item/14  to add in their binary package tree.  I ran a fink  
selfupdate, and then a fink install geda-bundle.

This pulled in guile16 and the geda-bundle packages, which resulted  
in the issue as described in earlier emails.

I then removed all geda packages, removed guile16, and removed the  
Todai Fink Team's tree from my apt sources.  Next, I ran a fink  
selfupdate, and then, a fink install geda-bundle, and it pulled in  
guile16, the geda packages, and a bit of etc (I'm afraid I did not  
note what else it pulled in), and then proceeded to compile them from  
source.

At the completion of the compile, I ran gschem again and it has been  
trucking along just fine.

Also, the source compile still depended on guile16.  I just let it  
pull it in and compile it.  Perhaps guile16 is broken on my machine  
via binary?

Other notes, my old powerbook, which was working with binary packages  
of a much older version, is a PPC, and this new machine is Intel.   
Don't know if is any kind of issue.

Let me know if you have further questions, I am more than happy to  
give you whatever info that would help.

Thank you for your work on all this, regardless, it has saved me a  
lot of work in the past.

-Steve
