Upgrade Fink on Mac OS X 10.6

Bla-bla, Mac 1 Comment »

Fink is ready to be used on Snow Leopard (OS X v. 10.6). Users will need to choose between a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of fink for 10.6. It will not be possible to “upgrade” from 32-bit to 64-but (or vice versa), without completely reinstall fink.

If you are a Mac user who have to upgrade to the snow leopard, then you have to upgrade Fink. To upgrade your Fink installation from 10.5/32 bit to 10.6/32 bit (there is no direct upgrade path from earlier OS versions), follow the
sequence below:

  • Use
    sudo fink -V

    to check your package manager version, which needs to be at least 0.29.9 before upgrading.

  • To upgrade package manager, if your package manager version older than 0.29.9, you need to edit the file
    /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm

    on line number 1448.

    Before:

    my %darwin_osx = ('1' => '10.0', '5' => '10.1', '6' => '10.2', '7' => '10.3', '8' => '10.4', '9' => '10.5');

    After:

    my %darwin_osx = ('1' => '10.0', '5' => '10.1', '6' => '10.2', '7' => '10.3', '8' => '10.4', '9' => '10.5', '10' => '10.6');
  • Edit the file
    /sw/etc/fink.conf

    , adding a line to it which reads

    NoAutoIndex: true.
  • run command
    fink index -f
  • run command
    fink reinstall fink

    in order to tell fink that you are now on 10.6.

  • run command
    fink update fink

    to get the latest fink for 10.6.

  • run command
    fink install perl588-core

    to replace the version of perl which Apple changed during the OS X upgrade, in case you have fink packages which depend on it.

  • After the upgrade, you may wish to run
    fink configure

    to do some cleanup.

Almost all of the packages in fink’s stable tree will compile on 10.6, but be warned that only a fraction of the 10.5 packages are currently available for 10.6. In the near future, fink’s package database will be updated to include information about packages for 10.6.

Install Mysql/Ruby pada Leopard

Mac No Comments »

Anda pengguna Mac? Tentu Anda sudah mengetahuinya, bahwa Mac dengan Leopard sebagai OS-nya telah menyediakan Apache dan PHP.  Bila Anda tidak puas dengan Apache dan PHP bawaan Leopard, Anda, mempunyai banyak alternatif pilihannya. Ada Bitnami, XAMPP, MAMP, dsb.

Bagaimana dengan Ruby? Tenang, Leopard juga telah menyediakannya, untuk Anda!

Ok, asumsi Anda memilih menginstall XAMPP sebagai default AMP (Apache, Mysql, PHP) pada box Leopard Anda. Setelah Anda XAMPP telah berjalan dengan baik, maka buka terminal dan jalankan perintah berikut untuk menginstall MySQL/Ruby

sudo gem install mysql -- \
  --with-mysql-dir=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles \
  --with-mysql-lib=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib \
  --with-mysql-include=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include
