(Using "sudo -E" defeats one of the major premises of Fink, which is identical builds on all machines in a distribution.

If so, then make sure that your external hard drive is *not* set to ignore permissions, e.g. via "Get Info" from the Finder. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
