My mistake. You can now hang me up by my thumbs and flog me severely. >You should be able to use the current FInk, in fact, you just won't >be able to use the bindist. Sorry, but I didn't find this to be true. 0.2.4a failed miserably as we noted previously, and 0.3.2a didn't fare much better (same nonsense about missing lines in Services.pm). >How did you install Fink anyway?

'Tis true. However, I finally have things working using 0.2.1, which installed on the first try with no errors. I am now updating my package descriptions... but remind me NOT to update all, as fink will be updated to an unusable version (this is what happened to me last time around!) Thanks for your help!

Then something went very wrong for you. How did you install Fink anyway? From source? If so, did you follow the instructions in detail (i.e. you used the right install scritps etc) ?
