I have fink in /sw/ and it works fine. Try this. It appears that fink often defaults to /sw for source (/sw/src/), assorted binaries (/sw/bin/), etc. Place your fink directory in /sw/ to avoid these problems. Just set your path to take advantage of this. I'm learning to play with fink too. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Aaron Rusz

I=B9ll admit I haven=B9t use Linux or FreeBDS in quite awhile. It looks like it removes directory xfree86 rootless, then goes back and remakes the same directory with subfolder application/fink and /DEBIAN. The= n it goes to install xfree86-rootless. Then it goes to move xfree86-base/applications to xfree86-rootless. Then the main error occurs while it tries to move and rename xfree86-base/applications to xfree86-rootless. /Applications folder isn=B9t empty, no kidding!? Ok, was I dumb to install Fink into /Applications/fink (The applications folder in Mac OS X and subfolder named fink) instead of /sw? Is there a way to just remove XFree86 and try to see if a binary is available? Anyway to restart the install without having to install everything again (This takes like 3 hours on my computer)? Any help would be great. Thanks! -- Peter Nehem who loves Everquest.
