No, you should not untar it yourself. You just put the tar.gz into /sw/src/ and let Fink take care of the rest. Just say "fink install fort77". It detects that the tarball is already in /sw/src and will not try to download it again. > I would make the following explanation , according the Terminal > information : > " pkg fort77 version 1.18-3 > The following package will be installed or updated: > fort77 > mkdir -p /sw/src/fort77-1.18-3 > tar -xvzf /sw/src/fort77-1.18.tar.gz " > > the tar command cannot unpack in the directory fort77-1.18-3 created > before , it can only untar in the fort77-1.18 directory . > Am I right ? Fink untars the tarball inside the newly-created /sw/src/fort77-1.18-3. It actually removes first any /sw/src/fort77-1.18-3 that may exist before. The rest of the compilation will then take place inside /sw/src/fort77-1.18-3/fort77-1.18/ -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
