Hello, Thomas. The messages above show that while the daemonic package was being built it was not able to find libxml/parser.h. This file is provided by the libxml2 package which is duly listed as a build dependency of daemonic. We need more information in order to find out what's going on. As a general rule, always tell us your Mac OS version, Fink distribution version, and Xcode version when submitting bug reports: http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/bug-reports/ That said, in order to check whether libxml2 is installed, tell us the output of the following command: fink list -t libxml2 Also, check whether libxml/parser.h is installed with the following command: ls -l /sw/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h As libxml2 uses a shell script to list the location of its development files, tell us the output of the following commands: which xml2-config xml2-config --cflags It could be the case that there's another xml2-config (maybe in /usr/ local) interfering with Fink's build process.
