You didn't specify your full platform or current fink version, but it appears that you're on 10.6/i386 with fink-0.36.3. There is a known problem with that version of fink there, and a workaround was posted on the mailing lists a while back: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.beginners/27967/focus=27969 -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
