sudo rm -rf /sw

should do it.

Alex,

This did no good at all. I only have around 35 items installed and 10+ are
not fink-based installations (e.g. Java, JDKs, APPLE OSX etc).


I did realise I have Virex7.2 installed, but not running - I am trying to
upgrade to 7.2.


So next question is how do I torch the Fink/Fink Commander world so I can be
totally fresh and it begins from cleanly?

Maybe the Fink Commander thing can be solved by trashing the
preferences--my standard fallback answer on that issue.

I'm not sure about ANT.

Hi Alex,

This was the one I was originally on, but reverted to the version in
the
Fink dmg...

Still, it has the same behaviour!

I tried to install from the terminal (using the FinkCommander menu)
and ant
bootstrap build failed...but it continued on and said it was done
(using the
darwin binaries AFAICT).

Still, ant is throwing up libjava.so error when I try to use it to
compile
an expample...who knows what is the reason!

I had a similar problem at one point, and I wound up solving it by
downloading a new version of the Fink Commander executable--there was
a
permissions problem. If this is the version that came with Fink-0.6.2
then you'll want to update to Fink Commander 0.5.2 anyway.

Hi Alex,

FinkCommander folder from the 0.6.2 FINK dmg has been moved into my
"Self
Installed Applications" folder.

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

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

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

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