Objet : Rép : [Xastir] 2 Weeks Xastir on OSX Installation problems :  
help!

Thank you Greg for your fast answers.
I'm really a newbie with all this stuff. I have the uncomfortable  
impression to face a closed blackbox and not knowing what's inside  
and with no clear instructions to understand what I'm doing.
I had a look into last month's xastir list and especially the thread  
named "[Xastir] mac osx 10.4.8 Xastir 1.8.5 working here, mostly."  
Don't even remember if I used this procedure as I tried so many  
things in the last two weeks...

So now I understand that I have to delete the /sw directory with:  
sudo rm -rf /sw
after that: "macports" I don't know what you mean (told you: I'm a  
newbie)
and last reinstall the n1ofz old 1.7.1 procedure with sources in my  
PowerBook G4 (but this requires Fink!?)
With the indicated libs versions or the newest ones?

And many thanks for your proposal. With pleasure!
