That's what I thought too, but the queries I looked at online with regards to this was that it couldn't find it and that it was a misleading error msg. > How many build jobs are you using?

I am just typing in the command "fink install tightvnc". Not trying manual compilation anymore. It is not staying inside the /sw tree though. I know that for sure. The /usr/lib/X11 tree is in use...that's where the X11.tmpl file is pointing it.

How many build jobs are you using? That error looks like what you get when a build isn't safe for multiple threads--static library builds are one place where I've often seen this behavior. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
