http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php?phpLang=en has instructions on how to do an install from source. Use the fink-0.30.2 archive, and follow the instructions starting with "Now unpack…”, changing “0.39.3” to “0.30.2” as appropriate. Make sure you have the most recent Xcode for 10.4 installed. Direct access to a binary distribution is somewhat problematic, because it requires changes in the fink code and there aren’t many people around with a 10.4 or 10.5 machine around to test the fixes. However, you can download the binaries directly via a web browser from under http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.4/dists/ and use “sudo dpkg -i <filename>” to install them. However, since these were generated in 2005, and we kept the source distribution active for several years after that, I’d recommend installs via source. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
