Is Fink Commander in a real folder or just in the disk image? It doesn't work right from the disk image.

I spoke too soon,

Although it 'tells me' what I have and so not have I cannot seem to do
anything like add or update!

My ant is giving libjava.so errors so first thing was to check the
installation of ant...

First time I am asked to enter the password twice and after that it still
does nothing but leaves the

By entering your password you will give the tool the authorization it needs

Under some circumstances you may need to enter your password twice.


Self-repair succeeded.  Please re-try your command.

Message up. I have refreshed the table and restarted FinkCommander...

Great!

I always hate to have people start from scratch, but sometimes it seems
it has to be done...

Alex,

This has been the answer - I have renamed /sw and reinstalled Fink and
used
the FinkCommander from the Fink .dmg


FC even picks up the Java J2EE 1.3.1 and J2SE 1.4.2 and OSX.3.3

Thanks Alex for your patience and methodical assistance in resolving
this
for me.

Brgds
Tim

I hate for you to have to do that--particularly since the command-line
side of things seems to be OK, but if you don't have a lot installed,
you might try this. I'd rename /sw rather than trashing it:


sudo mv /sw /sw.old

That way if it's a problem with Fink Commander rather than FInk, you
can get back to where you were by putting /sw back

Hi Alex,

No dice - maybe I need to wipe my entire /sw and start again from a
clean
Fink after noting my installed entities?

Those may be those for the binary distribution, which has a separate
update mechanism.


What happens if you run Source->Selfupdate from Fink
Commander--maybe
something didn't get initialized?
