The error is due to changes in "sudo" in OS 10.4.9 (or thereabouts). As a workaround, you can use "sudo -s" before running fink commands.
I still would like to see the "fink -V" output to assess exactly we need to do to get you past this, though. So $ sudo-s # fink -V On Oct 23, 2008, at 5:40 PM, Caitlin O'Connor wrote: > > fink - V gives the same error message as below. > the version is 10.4.11.
