Thank you, Alexander.  I ran "fink update m4" and then "fink update-all."  Both 
ran to completion and fink packages are now working.  I appreciate it!
all the best,
glenn

ps  In case this helps with future debugging, running "fink -V | head -n3"   
gives the output:

Package manager version: 0.29.21
Distribution version: selfupdate-rsync Fri Mar 25 09:06:54 2011, 10.6, i386
