You probably didn't, Fink did it for you. Don't worry about it. > Obviously I edited this file somewhere along the way to try to get mysql > working and also Fink.

Just because you have a file /Developer/usr/bin/PPCExplain doesn't mean you don't have /usr/bin/PPCExplain, too, which is the one responding to P<TAB>. Run type -a PPCExplain to see which one is found by the shell you are running in your Terminal.app window. None of this has anything to do with Fink. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
