The text mentioning fink selfupdate doesn’t actually apply in this failure mode—it’s for package build failures which occur once you actually have Fink set up properly. It just happens to show up for any build failure. > WARNING: Don't call install.sh directly, use inject.pl instead. > > You have been warned. > > ### execution of ./install.sh failed, exit code 1 > > phase installing: base-files-1.9.17-1 failed > > > Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and try again. > > Also try using "fink configure" to set your maximum build jobs to 1 and > > attempt to build the package again. > > If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the FAQ on Fink's > > website solves the problem.

There’s absolutely no context as to why it was called or anything else that was going on. Send me a log off list. Also, you might try a newer version of the Install Fink.tool script. I just updated it yesterday. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list Fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
