David,
If you look at the top of the output that I sent, you'll see that
there are other install commands that executed just fine. In those cases
however, the install command is echoed with the full path to install. In
the case that is failing the install command is echoed without a full path.
In any event, doing a `which install` from the same shell in which I am
doing the fink install returns "/usr/bin/install". I have never knowingly
installed gnu darwin. The only additional unix tools that I have
installed have been samba and some tools through fink, and those include
only the packages needed for XFree86 and the windomaker package.
Thinking that the windowmaker package might have its own install, I
cd'd into /sw/src/windowmaker-0.80.0-1 and did a `find * -name "install"
-print`, and that returned nothing. So, I still seem to be hopelessly
lost.
Regards,
Paul
