First you should try to do a standalone installation of the depency files for fink-prebinding. Type a fink install bzip2-shlibs or libiconv or libiconv-bin or ncurses-shlibs and see what happens. If one installs try afterwards a fink install prebinding and see which depencies are still left if it doesn't install and install them standalone too. If fink-prebinding now installs it was a bad depencie in one of the package descriptions. If this doesn't help either, I once had a similar problem with another programs depencies and I solved it with installing the binary version of the package causing trouble, running fink selfupdate-cvs again and afterwards doing a fink install of the latest package that caused the error and then finally all depencies for the original program could be solved. In your case this would mean to call a "sudo apt-get fink-prebinding" (hopefully there is a version avaible via apt-get), then run a fink selfupdate (or selfupdate-cvs if you haven't switched to rsync yet), and then do a fink install fink-prebinding to get the latest version. If you stil have problems then which version of the gcc are you currently using for compiling or better which Version of the Apple Developertools do you have installed? There were some problems with the June/July Update of the Apple Developertools which brought gcc3.3 along and the fink distribution up until two days ago. At this time there was a mail "The State of fink". In it is described on how to use the *August* Update of the Developertools and fink. That works fine for me here on 10.2.8.
