Have you added your own copy of the 'install' program? What do you get when you do a 'which' search? Here's what I get: % which install /sw/bin/install You can also do a 'locate' search, provided that the locate database is current (updating can take several minutes, if you need to do it): % sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb % locate install | grep '/install$' The latter command could produce a lot of hits, but you should see only one (or if you have Fink's install program like I do), two hits: /sw/bin/install /usr/bin/install If you have anything else, such as /usr/local/bin/install, then chances are it is a version of the program incompatible with the Debian linux tools that Fink uses. The GNU-Darwin project provides BSD based tools that are incompatible with the ones Fink relies on, so if you have a lot of software from them or another similar source, you'll need to move or remove the files it put in [normally] /usr/local. Once that is out of the way, running the 'fink install...' command should have better luck. Note though that, if 'install' wasn't the only modified file (i.e. if you have a /usr/local/bin/make) then you may have other bugs which haven't manifested themselves yet. If you see any weird errors, it may be necessary to do a "fink rebuild..." on the packages you're trying to install. If this is all totally offtrack, let me know. This is the first error like this I've noticed someone ask about on the Fink lists, but it seems to fit the profile of the BSD bugs people have been having. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
