Nope, not so. I am using Fink since almost its first release. I install Dev Tools regularly as soon as it is released on ADC and Dev Tools December was installed in .. December! DOH!!
I work in C++, my Fink list has some 15 packages installed and this problem showed up ONLY with installing python 2.5.5, other C++ code still compiled OK and fink selfupdate and update-all never showed a problem. If it was not for python trying to include CFNetwork.h I would have not discovered the problem. It looked to me that was clear from my posting. I take no offence but I think by now I know the FAQ by heart. Instead *something* really has happened: the Dev Tools installation took almost 3 hrs!!! Most of that time spent on the Optimizing System Performance. Honestly, when I did the first installation - and wrongly assuming that *ALL* files were installed I stopped the installation when the progress bar was almost to the end but stuck there for 40 minutes. To get there it took an hour but the Writing Files and Verifying changes took place in reasonable time. When? in DECEMBER, of course. Then I did some tests and compilations and all seemed OK, assuming the Optimizing had some problems but installation resulted OK in any case and the system was snappy the same. This time I let it go without interfering: 3+ hrs!!! I have been tempted to stop it again. So I guess during Optimizing it still writes files and updates directories. PS Jef The problem was not in installing Fink (first statement of my original email). That has happened in April 2001 and update took place regularly and flawlessly since.
