That is supposed to open up the package description file. In this case, gimp-print is a virtual package, and has no such file. To install a package, select it, and use Source->Install. > -if I want to do a self-update I get: /n/nERROR: Self-repair failed. > Please be sure you are running FinkCommander from a directory and disk > you are authorized to modify (e.g., not a disk image). As above: are you running Fink Commander from its disk image?

If you don't have unstable turned on, or if you're using 64-bit Fink, you won't see it. Otherwise, both gcc44 and gcc45 include the gfortran compiler. You might also go with the command line and run fink selfupdate-rsync fink install gcc45 - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk1msU4ACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9oQQCgoC+63LKG8WI/1b8j1s7moSqR XnEAoI41Inr3WwVfAjhJGqJT+N1sv2nJ =8/L5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
