Tim, first, I believe you have to be 'root' to run fink... have you enabled 'root' on your machine? or, better yet, have you added yourself to the sudoers list on your machine? if you don't know what I'm talking about email me off-list.
Anyway.. when you're in /sw/bin you need to type: ./fink selfupdate that dot slash is very important when running commands that are not in your path. Cheers, J.
