rdesktop package not found

Hi all.

I'm new to Fink, and I thought I would use it to install
Rdesktop.

However, though I have tried all manner of things, and
enabled non-stable
packages in Fink Commander, I cant find rdesktop package
anywhere, either in
Fink Commander or when trying to install by hand from the
terminal.

Any ideas how I go about getting Fink to install Rdesktop ?

Olly

Fink Commander and the command-line tools use the same
information
(and even the same commands)  so that's not surprising.

Did you run a "selfupdate-rsync" afterword to get
the unstable tree
package descriptions?

If you did, then check /sw/etc/fink.conf and make sure that
the
unstable trees are present in the Trees: line.  We've had
some recent
reports of FinkCommander not updating fink.conf properly.

Thanks Alexander.

I did a selfupdate-rsync, and got this error;

Failed: selfupdate method 'rsync' requires the package
'dev-tools'

I guess im missing something in my OS X install perhaps.

You need to install the Xcode Tools (you can leave out the
documentation if you want to save space).  You'd need them
anyway
because you need a compiler to build rdesktop, much less to
selfupdate.

Alexander,

I installed the XCode tools, and I can now do the
selfupdate-rsync, but
searching for rdesktop still shows nothing.

Any ideas ?

Make sure the unstable tree is really turned on--check the
Trees line
in /sw/etc/fink.conf

I've heard tell freom people who've had problems turning the
unstable
trees on in Fink Commander were able to do so by turning
them back on
in FC, and then turning them off in FC again.
