No. The package you were compiling when it failed will be recompiled from the beginning. But whatever you compiled before that will already be installed and not be recompiled. > me.

My advice to anyone having such problems is to move /usr/local completely out of the way while you are compiling fink packages. sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local_away Then afterwards when you want to have it back, mv it the other way. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
