+ <question>
+ <p> I can't install Fink via the Installer package, because I get
"volume doesn't support symlinks" errors.</p>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>This message most commonly means that you've tried to run the Fink
installer as user who doesn't have administrative privileges. Make sure to log
in at the login screen as such a user or switch to such a user in the Finder
(i.e. fast user switching) before starting the Fink installer.</p>

+ <question>
+ <p>After updating to Tiger (OS 10.4), whenever I use a GTK app, I get
errors involving <code>_EVP_idea_cbc</code>.</p>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>This is caused by an apparent bug in Tiger's dynamic linker
(current as of 10.4.1). You can work around this via prefixing the the name of
you want as follows:
+</p>
+ <codeblock>env DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=: </codeblock>
+ <p>E.g., if you want to use <code>gnucash</code>, you'd use</p>
+ <codeblock>env DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=: gnucash</codeblock>
+ <p>This method works for applications that are launched via the
Application Menu in Apple's X11 as well as a terminal.</p>
