I'm running OS 10.6.8 and Xcode Version 3.2.2 (1650)

I think have successfully installed fink 0.35.1

I ran the command "fink selfupdate-rsync"  without any problems

But when I try "fink install xtide", I get the following error message

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether the C++ compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/sw/src/fink.build/xtide-2.13.2-1/xtide-2.13.2':
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
### execution of ./configure failed, exit code 77
### execution of /tmp/fink.PaIbE failed, exit code 77

I found FAQ 6.11 on the fink website which suggested that error message means 
that fink can't find /Library/Receipts/DevSDK.pkg.  I checked and the file is 
not there.  So I installed XCode 3.2.2 from the original DVD that came with 
computer (I had originally downloaded and installed Xcode 3.2.6 from Apple's 
website).  Still get the same error message

I cannot find a config.log file anywhere on the computer

I also tried running /sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl  , thinking that maybe fink 
hadn't noticed when I re-installed xcode.  

This produced the following:

Checking system... i386-apple-darwin10.8.0

This version of fink supports bootstrapping under Mac OS X 10.6, as well as 
upgrading from 10.5. However, DIRECT UPGRADING FROM 10.4 OR EARLIER
IS NOT SUPPORTED.

can't write temporary file: Permission denied at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Config.pm 
line 615.


Sounds like maybe I haven't given fink enough permissions somewhere and that is 
causing the compiler error message as well?

I would appreciate any help/advice.

Thanks,
Sarah Gilman
