Yes, the 10.7 distribution was a clean break from previous Fink distributions and we're slowly moving packages to 10.7 as we test them and know they work. > I downloaded the package from this website: > > http://nicotine.thegraveyard.org/ > > I have fink set up (unstable) but don't have any idea how to compile > this package.

Fink is not set up to build manually downloaded packages. If there's a package that you want in Fink and it's not available for your specific OS version, the best solution is to contact the maintainer, whom I've CC'd to this message, and ask him or her about adding the package to your distribution. You can also carbon copy one of the fink lists in case you don't hear a direct response back from the maintainer. Christian, I was able to get nicotine to work on 10.7 by updating all the python dependencies to python2.7. Can I add it with these changes to the 10.7 distribution? m: 10.7 doesn't have a binary distribution channel, so apt-get will not really accomplish anything. For 10.7, you want 'fink install <PKG>'. This will automatically download and build the sources for whatever you asked (that is available for your distribution).
