Martin,
Thanks, I figured there was a reason. I know how to change the fink.conf back to what it was, but I don't know how to change the ccache setting. Any help in this regard? I read the man page, but still couldn't figure it out. --Robert

The problem, which I don't think I made clear enough, was
that fink.conf thought the compiler cache was in /sw/var/ccache. My solution was to change the path in fink.conf to match what ccache was using (/Users/robwyatt/.ccache) since I couldn't figure out how to make ccache use the other. Please let me know if my solution is not recommended.
Fink has a good reason to it the way it does: It runs as root, so the ccache files it writes have root permissions. In the old way (which is what you restored with your "solution"), your own ~/.ccache would therefore be owned by root, and you couldn't use it for your own compilations. Therefore fink now has its own ccache, owned by root, in /sw/var/ccache, separate from your private ~/.ccache.
