Check the error messages above. ok, so then I moved all that stuff, tried it again.... with no success!! any ideas? oh and since I'm already asking: how does fink recognize any installed software? (how can I get it to recognize my software that's installed but not marked with (i) in "fink list"?) greets alex _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
