Well, I tried update-all again. This time, instead of just accepting the defaults, I ensured that Fink would install TeTeX instead of System-TeTeX. The installation ran and ran and ran and ran... For about 10 hours. Sometimes not allowing me to run another program without bogging down my computer. That isn't the worst part; after suffering all this, it failed. This is the last few lines:
mv /sw/src/root-kdebase3-ssl-3.1.2-3/sw/include /sw/src/root-kdebase3-ssl-dev-3.1.2-3/sw/ mv: cannot stat `/sw/src/root-kdebase3-ssl-3.1.2-3/sw/include': No such file or directory ### execution of mv failed, exit code 1 Failed: installing kdebase3-ssl-dev-3.1.2-3 failed Please help. All I want to do I update Fink so I can make sure everything works best. I can send you the complete output file but it is kind of large. Thanks Jeremy On 8/19/03 9:55 AM, "Alexander K.
