Hi, I am setting up OS-X 10.6.4 Server, trying to bootstrap fink unsuccessfully after numerous attempts. I have no idea what the problem is because we have installed fink in this manner on our other machines (running non-server 10.6) and we had even previously installed fink on the server but had to wipe the disk and re-install everything; now I am having this problem.
The error is: ....... install -c -p -m 644 fink.shlibs "/sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/DEBIAN/shlibs" /bin/rm -f /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw/info/dir /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw/info/dir.old /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw/share/info/dir /sw/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw/share/info/dir.old Writing control file...
