fink and Tiger

[NuPowerbook]

Does anyone know how to make fink Tiger compatible? When I go to use it it complains about the new versions of Perl and GCC.

Strange, cause Fink 0.7.1 is working fine here.
What are the exact error message(s) you get and when do you get it?

Did you erase and install when you installed Tiger or simply upgrade? I am trying to do a brand new install, and on both of my machines, when I download the source release of fink, then go to install it, I get complaints about perl and GCC. THe Binary release does work, I confirmed that, but I want the source release.

Hmm and you installed the new XCode, right?

I haven't tried this, cause I decided to just do a binary install, but you'll need to edit bootstrap.pl find where it says:

# acceptible perl versions: "$] value" => "human-readible version string"
my %ok_perl_versions = (
    "5.006"    => "5.6.0",
    "5.006001" => "5.6.1",
    "5.008"    => "5.8.0",
    "5.008001" => "5.8.1",
    "5.008002" => "5.8.2",
    "5.008004" => "5.8.4"
);

and add "5.008006" => "5.8.6"

so it'll look like:

# acceptible perl versions: "$] value" => "human-readible version string"
my %ok_perl_versions = (
    "5.006"    => "5.6.0",
    "5.006001" => "5.6.1",
    "5.008"    => "5.8.0",
    "5.008001" => "5.8.1",
    "5.008002" => "5.8.2",
    "5.008004" => "5.8.4",
    "5.008006" => "5.8.6"
);

ok, I found another file that needs to be edited "perlmod/Fink/Bootstrap.pm" you need to add:

        } elsif ("$]" == "5.008006") {
