fink cp seems to "replace" Mac OS X cp when you have the right fink

Sorry for my ignorance, does this mean that I automatically have fink cp
when I have installed fink or is it a separate package I have to install
via fink? And what fink settings, where?
To make it worse not only does end packing now need gnu-copy.
Packing mozilla does too.
I really don't understand this. I often mentioned that we should
use Mac OS X cp so that it is easy for Mac OS X users to build OOo.
I doubt that the average Mac OS X user will build OOo. But I tend to
agree with you if there is no unavoidable reason for using gnu-cp why
not simply using the Mac OS X cp? Is there a reason for using gnu-cp?
OTOH if you need fink or Darwinports anyway for pkgconfig and it
replaces the Mac OS X cp why bother.
Kind regards,

O.K. for pkgconfig being incomplete I understand that we need
fink/Darwinports/whatever packagemanger and for gtk2 as an optional
feature it's O.K. too simply because Mac OS X is supposed to use
Carbon/Quarz.
I tried to use gnucopy installed via Darwinports but it failed.
Could be another bug in Darwinport just like the one with freetype.
I had no time for further investigation and so far the build is
fine with this hackaround."
So there is no bug in gnucopy but for me one in OOo. But so far
nobody seemed to agree with me and all are happy with using
gnu-copy.
