Hello everyone,
Newcomer here, I'm afraid.
I have downloaded the latest version of Fink I could find (0.8.0 ) and
can't install it. Installation is constantly refused. While running the
installer, I get the message :
"Fink cannot be installed on this computer.
A root directory / sw exists. Please see the Read me file for update
instructions, or for information on installing Fink on a separate volume. "
So: what does this mean? Why is it refusing to install?
Not wishing to waste anyone's time, I looked at FAQs and other help
files, and the Read Me file, without finding an answer. I do not have a
version of the GIMP installed, nor do I have a version of Virex.
It seems simply impossible to install Fink.
Perhaps it's only intended for people who are far more technical-minded
than I am. But I'd heard that it was percisely meant to make things a
little simpler. Up to now it's had the opposite effect.
BTW I'm running OS 10.4.4
Should I just give up and trash Fink, or is there something I can do?
Thanks
Xavier (Kreiss)
