Ah, that probably *is* the issue. What's probably going on is that you don't have X11 (XQuartz) installed on the remote machine. fink tests for the presence of X11, since many of our packages need it, by checking the output of a command. Unfortunately, on 10.8, when one runs an X11-related command when XQuartz isn't installed, a dialog window pops up on the desktop, and it blocks whatever was being run until the user presses one of its buttons. The quickest workaround would be to move the X11 tree out of your path e.g. via "sudo mv /opt/X11 /opt/X11.bkup". That way the X11 tests will just indicate "not installed" and the bootstrap will proceed. Or you could download and install XQuartz--you can even do that from the command line, using the built -in "installer" command. Depending on what you ultimately want to install via Fink, you may need to do that at some point, anyway. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
