Boaz, I would seriously consider doing an archive and install of 10.4 to purge out these modifications you have made to your system. Fink doesn't tolerate unexpected development packages being installed. Usually folks do that in /usr/local or /opt so it is easy to disable. Jack On

Interestingly under x86_64 fink, nedit's paste works fine but bus errors under i386 fink with darwin10. I see the same bus errors under ppc darwin9 fink. We could create a x86_64 variant for lesstif 0.95.2 and revert the other architectures back to the last 0.95.0 packaging.

Keep in mind that not all source packages support a parallel make. If I recall correctly, openmotif for example has issues. It would be better to encourage package maintainers to simply enable the parallel make in their info files by using something like... num_cpu=$(echo `sysctl -n hw.ncpu`)
