What version of fink are you using? fink-0.34.8 contains fixes which are supposed to address this very issue. How are you getting administrative access: a root account, "sudo" (possibly with some flags), or "su" (possibly with some flags? Let us know _exactly_ what you're using, as well as the the setting of RootMethod in /sw/etc/fink.conf. That way we can try to reproduce the problem. As a workaround, try "fink --no-build-as-nobody install gnuplot" (or whatever gnuplot variant you really want), which will force fink to build as root. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
