I do not know anything about libexpat, but… anytime a fink install references
anything in /usr/local, things are likely to break (fink never puts its own
stuff there). The generic answer is to rename /usr/local temporarily, and try
again.

Dear Fink list:
I have been trying to install Fink for the most part of the day and was able to
fix some of the problems but have hit a brick wall on this one which seems to
be a general problem across multiple distribution platforms regarding
libexpat.la and how libtool does not recognize it as a valid archive. The
following is the complete copy of the error:
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib -o
xgettext xgettext-xgettext.o xgettext-x-c.o xgettext-x-po.o xgettext-x-sh.o

I look forward to hear what I can do to go beyond this error.
