Hi,
I am using fink version 0.7.0 and Mac OS X version 10.3.3
I have been using fink for the a few months. Today I typed dselect to install some packages. When I selected Install from the menu, I got the following message:
dselect: requested operation requires super user privilege
I am using my own Mac and this did not happen last time I went to install a package (which was a couple months ago).
Any suggestions of what I might need to do to "fix" this so I can install something?
Thank you for your help and time! Katherine
sudo dselect
Then enter your admin password.
("fink install" automatically invokes sudo to do its thing--you may well have used that.)
