Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help me installing gtk# on a mac (mac OS 10.3.8). I've spent far too much time (days) wrestling with fink, trying to follow the instructions on http://www.mono-project.com/using/macos.html. I'm stuck on the step 5:
---
Install the following fink packages (you can keep using Apple X11, just read this document:

   fink install pango1-xft2 pango1-xft2-dev pango1-xft2-shlibs gtk+2 gtk+2-dev gtk+2-shlibs libart2 libart2-shlibs libgnomecanvas2 libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomecanvas2-shlibs libgnomeui2 libgnomeui2-dev libgnomeui2-shlibs libgnomeprintui2.2 libgnomeprintui2.2-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-shlibs libglade2 libglade2-shlibs libgda libgda-dev libgda-shlibs librsvg2 librsvg2-shlibs gtkhtml3 gtkhtml3-dev gtkhtml3-shlibs vte vte-dev vte-shlibs xft2-dev libgnomedb libgnomedb-dev libgnomedb-shlibs

*NB: Select the SSL or non-ssl deps as required
---
First of all the following error was reported:
<<<      error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!">>>
So I looked around and found a workaround at http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-discuss/2004-December/008746.html.
However since then it's been one problem after another. Some packages seem to be dependent on freetype2, "fink list freetype2" gives me : <<<

      2.1.3-23                  TrueType font rendering library, version 2, headers
    freetype2-hinting                 2.1.3-23                  TrueType font rendering library,

version 2, shared libs
i   freetype2-shlibs                  2.1.3-23                  TrueType font rendering library,
version 2, shared libs
>>>
At the moment I have a really encouraging error on step 5 (the big fink install) : <<< fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:

(1)      python: Interpreted, object-oriented language
(2)      python-nox: Interpreted, object-oriented language

Pick one: [1]
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "gcc3.3" for package "libgnomeui2-2.6.1.1-8" (no matching packages/versions found)
>>>
"Encouraging" is meant ironically, as previously fink got much farther thru the install before crashing. Now it hardly starts! So at present I'm trying to install gcc3.3, and that doesn't work, it ends with: <<<checking for sys/stat.h... (cached) yes checking for direct.h... no checking for malloc.h... (cached) no checking for langinfo.h... yes checking for thread.h... no checking for pthread.h... yes checking for CHAR_BIT... yes checking byte ordering... unknown

PAIN !
To end on a good note, installing mono itself (1.0.5) has been easy, my console HelloWorld/test app is fine.
But I want to do GUI...
Thanks anyway
