Fink Commander won't run from the disk image.

ERROR:  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).

The Fink Commander disk image isn't writeable.  Copy Fink Commander to
the Applications folder, or your home folder.

Did you install Fink, as per
http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php?

If you installed it, then you probably just need to start a new terminal
window.  If you didn't install it then do so.

The fink command doesn't need to be run from any particular directory.
