You can try "fink rebuild transfig-graphicx" to rebuild the package from source rather than from the .deb. However, it is highly likely that you will still not have fig2dev unless you just happen to have changed whatever caused fig2dev not to appear when you initially built the .deb. I would recommend using "fink -l rebuild transfig-graphicx" to capture a build log in /tmp at the same time. That way if you still don't have fig2dev there will be more information about what went wrong. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
