What seems to be happening is that "libast.dylib.5.4" is missing. I re-ran the install from the top and got a different error that sounded like the /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/ base-files_1.9.2-1_darwin-powerpc.deb was corrupt. I deleted this file, and Fink finished installing. Then I tried to install my first package, emacs21, and got the same error, missing libast. I deleted the .deb file, but this time that didn't help.
Snipped hopefully relevant output below. Thanks in advance for any help! Tony Green
