Please send all replies to the Fink lists so others can help figure out what's going on. I'm learning this stuff too... :)

That is, you have a valid file named /usr/bin/gnumake and /usr/bin/make is just a symlink to it.

But regardless, unless there is some reason that you have to have an alternate version of make installed, you should be going with /usr/bin/make (and/or /usr/bin/gnumake, which is of course the exact same file). It produced the expected output when you asked it for version information, and moreover it's the version that Fink is designed to work against. In principle you should be able to swap out stuff from the devtools and use your own compilers & build tools, but in this case something seems to be going wrong when you do that. So don't do that. Try moving the version in /usr/local out of the way, or get rid of it if you can afford to do so. Then try running Fink again to see if the results are any better. > I do seam to have two binary for make, but I do not have the sliest > idea where the /usr/local/bin/make* comes from. Timestamp is Oct 16; isn't that the date that the Fall devtools indicated? I'm not sure. I *think* you can safely remove this, and if in fact it did come from the pre-Dec devtools then maybe reinstalling the Dec devtools might automatically remove it for you. Maybe. In any case, at least try moving it out of the way to see if any of your problems go away then. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
