hey there everybody.
So, I'm a new linux person, and I love my mac, so I want to open
a .deb file on my mac, and install it.
But, apparently I need dpkg to do so.
I have an intel mac, 10.5.6.
Xcode 3.1.1
some third part apps that are in my /usr/local directory are "ntfs-3g"
which allows the mac to see ntfs partitions,
and fuse stuff which i don't know anything about.
Menz-MacBook:~ Mike$ uname -a
Darwin Menz-MacBook.local 9.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0: Mon Nov

Menz-MacBook:~ Mike$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.5.6
BuildVersion: 9G55
so in the terminal, this is what happens:
Menz-MacBook:~ Mike$ sudo port install dpkg

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gettext expat

What do I do to get dpkg to install correctly, or to open these .deb
files in mac?
Also, I'm running Ubuntu in VMware Fusion, so I have access to all the
dpkg directories in there...
any help would be TOO great.
