No, that's definitely not the expected behavior. There's not that much to troubleshoot, either, because what is supposed to happen here is that some small text files get scanned and their data is cached. My recollection is that we've seen a few reports of similar behavior in the past, but it was never a reproducible problem. I'd recommend stopping the operation with Control-C, remove the /sw directory via e.g. "sudo rm -rf /sw" and try the bootstrap again. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
