I'm trying to get started with gtkmm, and I'm using a mac. So I tried using fink to get it installed. Looking online, it seems to be up to date, but when I check on the command line

fink list gtkmm

It only lists gtkmm2. I went ahead and tried that, but it really is the gtkmm 2.0 distribution. I'd really like to be up to date on this, not to mention the hello world example failed, and I think its because I'm not using 2.4.

How do I get fink to find and install gtkmm 2.4? I tried fink selfupdate and apt-get update to make sure that everything was up to date, but with no luck.

Ok, it looks like this was a fink 101 mistake. I was using the binary distribution of fink, and it was set to pull packages from point release. I guess if you switch to fink selfupdate-cvs or fink selfupdate-rsync it has access to the latest packages, and that was where gtkmm2.4 was.
