Yo folks,

in the following I'd like to tell you a little story that happened to me today... it is, unfortunately, kind of a sad story, but I hope we can turn it into one with a happy ending eventually :-)

Hi Max.

I've been aware for some time that we had some problems along these lines. Although we pay lip service to the idea that fink could be used without having the developer tools installed (and relying only on binary packages), in practice -- as you point out -- none of the fink developers do this themselves and so it doesn't get tested very often.

Looking into this is, unfortunately, rather far down on my own list of priorities for fink-y things to work on. I'm hoping that your story will motivate someone to step forward who wants to work on this aspect of fink.

  Best,
  Dave
