Hi all, I am quite a new user to fink and up untill yesterday at 16.50 BST all was well.
I attepmted to install the xdrawchem package from the ustable branch... the unstabele/main branch was enabled in my /sw/etc/fink.conf... the installation failed..... thats not the problem however.... since I tried to install the package, various commands such as ls, chmod and others result in segmenatation faults... when I use the '/usr/bin' version form Darwin they are fine, but the /sw/ bin' versions result in the sgmentation faults. By looking at the /sw/bin/ directory I see that all these commands were modified when I tried to install xdrawchem. As it stands when I launch a new shell terminal I get the 'Welcome to Darwin' message followed by Segmantation fault if I remove the source /sw/bin/init.csh line from my .cshrc file (I still use C shell) I no longer get the segmentation faults. A related issue is that when I get the segmenatation faults, anything in my /tmp/ directory gets wiped out and replaced by 501/ and a file called mcx_compositor. so my questions are ... 1) what the devil caused all the commands in the /sw/bin directory to gte changed 2) what can I do about it 3) why does changing things in my /sw directory result in my /tmp directory being modified thanks in advance David Robinson --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/ Installed at The Chemistry Dept, University of Glasgow. http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
