The make that your system is using by default looks not to be gnumake, but bsdmake, which is incompatible with some of fink's packages. You probably have a make package in /usr/local/bin from when you used GNU-Darwin. Do a "where make" to verify this. It should return something like
/usr/local/bin/make /usr/bin/make If you do a "which make", you should then get /usr/local/bin/make because /usr/local/bin is usually ahead of /usr/bin in your PATH. I'll direct you to the FAQ on this: http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php#make Basically, as long as /usr/bin/make exists and is a symbolic link to gnumake (check it with 'ls -l /usr/bin'), then you can remove /usr/local/bin/make or rename it to something else if you want to keep it around, and then your default make will be the correct one. -- Alexander K.
