How is that done? Another suggestion is here >All right- I got fink to work by renaming /sw/bin/gzip to gzip.old and >symlinking /sw/bin/gzip to /usr/bin/gzip (gunzip, too). Fink seems to work >fine now; the only problem is that there is some problem with gzip. A third is here >it seems that your download was incomplete or just the >file corrupted. I tried it and it works. Fetch the file > again by typing "fink fetch gdk-pixbuf" None of the latter two solve the problem, and the first I don't know how to do, though I can be taught. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I am running OS10.1.4 on a dual450G4, fink 0.4.0, and I was installing r-base-atlas with six packages left to go when the problem began. Now nothing can be installed. Thanks! [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
