Yes, I used the .dmg & installer. I've read in another installation program's instructions that for Intel it's necessary to install using source, not installer on .dmg, so probably that's the issue here as well. Oddly enough, Fink runs, just not very reliably. Some packages are installed, others are not. I'll try a fresh install from source instead of using the installer. It was really perplexing to see the installer tell me it thought my system was darwin-powerpc! Thanks for your help!
