FYI, my Fink version info is: ty5:~ ty5$ fink -V Package manager version: 0.24.7 Distribution version: 0.8.0.rsync Cheers, Saad Mahamood  You may want to do that, yes.  Unfortunately this might mean some additional package rebuilds, since some packages will find the first "perl" executable in your PATH and configure things to use it--so if you remove /sw/bin/perl they may suddenly become unhappy until they get rebuilt. -- Alexander Hansen Fink Documentarian [Day Job] Levitated Dipole Experiment http://psfcwww2.psfc.mit.edu/ldx/
