Nope, the internet misled you. :-) You didn’t specify your OS X version or how you installed Fink. A compiler is mandatory to install Fink for any OS X version we currently support (10.9-10.11). Start with running “fink selfupdate”, because you definitely don’t have a current set of package descriptions. There should be around 9000 (and about the same number for the binary distribution). -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
