The problem is in your fink.conf file. If you run "fink configure" again, one of the path options, like In what additional directory should Fink look for downloaded tarballs? (use the absolute pathname only) [] or Which directory (absolute pathname) should Fink use to build packages? (If you don't know what this means, it is safe to leave it at its default.) [] Will show [n] by it. That indicates that perhaps you accidentally entered 'n' for that option when you set Fink up. We added this check to try to make sure people's setups will look for stuff in the right place. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
