Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I turned on the 'unstable' option via command "fink configure", hitting 'Y'
for the precompiled binaries question and 'Y' for the the question of
whether or not to leave the unstable tree activated (as shown below). All
other questions I left blank, assuming the defaults would be used.

SelfUpdateMethod: point

Running fink "info bioperl-pm588" produces the following
Scanning package description files..........
Information about 2518 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'bioperl-pm588'!
I'm not sure why I'm not seeing all the packages?
Thanks,

You need to do a selfupdate with rsync or cvs enabled (i.e. "fink
selfupdate-rsync" or "fink selfupdate-cvs). "point" updates don't even
download new stable tree package descriptions; they just move you to the
next distribution version.
Hi Alexander,
This worked. Thanks for your help!!
