Thanks a lot for your quick answer. So, -I selected the gimp and used Source->install. However, nothing happened (only a short beep-sound) and I got the same error message as before. -Yes, I am running Fink Commander from it's disk image (it's on the desktop). Is that right or wrong? -If I want to do it using the terminal, how does it work? I went in my Download folder (that's where I saved fink at (i think)) and then typed 'cd fink-0.29.16' to go in that folder. And there I wrote "fink selfupdate-rsync", but it didn't work; it said: daniels-MacBook-Pro:fink-0.29.16 daniel$ fink selfupdate-rsync -bash: fink: command not found what did I do wrong here?
Hope I'm not a lost cause.
