It's worse than I thought. You're on a completely unsupported configuration. Apparently the installer for 10.4/i386 works on 10.9, which is very surprising. There's no update path whatsoever, since we don't support i386 on 10.9, or indeed updates from any earlier distribution to 10.9. http://www.finkproject.org/download/10.9-upgrade.php?phpLang=en has suggestions about how to capture your list of installed packages. The current fink release for 10.9, which is fink-0.36.4.1, supports the current 10.9 binary distribution. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/scripts/master/srcinstaller/Install%20Fink.tool is a script that will help automate the install process (it only works on 10.9) by automatically downloading that version of fink. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put Bad Developers to Shame Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment Start a new project now.
