Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't know putting them into local would work (or what local was for, even). Is there a place that explains the Fink directory structure (specifically the difference between the main and crypto directories, and where the "0.3.2a-stable", "current-stable", and "current-unstable" things go and how they differ)? Thanks, Chris
