Re: cernlib issue with Catalina OS

Thank you very much for your replies.

But in view of what you wrote. I think the best is not to worry about
installing the cernlib at macs and just use a pc with linux.

Greetings.

Fink uses its own database and set of pre-built packages to download, so it need not have the same packages available as Ubuntu.  In point of fact, we don’t have any built packages for 10.15 yet.  Similarly, the cernlib packages aren’t available on 10.15 yet to build from source even though they available on earlier OS versions.  I don’t use it myself, so I’m not sure why.
