So if I understand all of the comments so far, the problem may be avoidable with an older tar but even that produces warnings in fink. If the hypothesis of Spotlight indexing blocking files is correct, perhaps the answer is for the fink developers to add code to fink that stops and starts the

Spotlight does not touch *.build directories. That's why fink.build was introduced in the first place. Maybe the people who have this weird error changed their build directory to something other than fink.build? Martin, Ahhh... [me: starts renaming all his project build directories] My

I just want to re-emphasize that what I said before was that Spotlight was NOT the problem (I guessed wrongly that it might be, and instructed it to stay out of /sw, and that did not help). I also found creating a new /sw did not solve the problem. The tar explanation strikes me as more

It would appear that using tar 1.16 in fink is a really bad idea... http://www.mail-archive.com/amanda-users@amanda.org/msg37008.html I would also note that Fedora development is still using 1.15.1 for tar. Jack

Hi, First of all, thank you again, Jack, for putting forth an unrelenting effort in packaging up gcc-4.2 (prerelease), I've been following along for months now. I have some good news and bad news to report. The good news first: On 10.4, a dual G4, 0.5 GHz: % fink install gcc42 ... 6.5

David, I ran into the same problem a month or so back and had to nuke my fink installation to resolve it. It may be that the gcc42 packaging is exposing some latent bug in fink. I've built the same packaging almost daily for the last couple of months and the problem hasn't come back. Hopefully
