I installed Fink a while back, but because of a proxying issue at work could never really get it working. And I was afraid I had messed it up in the process. So when the proxying issue got resolved, I began to try again by uninstalling fink (sudo rm -rf /sw, according to the faq) and reinstalling.
When I try to install 0.8.1, I'm not able to select a destination disk. My main partition (OS X 10.4.8) has the big red exclamation point saying You cannot install Fink on this volume. Cannot perform symlink test on this volume because of a permissions problem. Try performing the "Repair Disk Permissions" function in Disk Utility. Indeed, when I first checked there were permisssions issues which I repaired. Since then, however, I still get the same error message, although Disk Utility now finds no errors in the disk's permissions. I have rebooted for good measure. Any thoughts?
