Rich, I had a spate of similar "node for xxxx already exists" failures back in March. I polled the masses, but the only solution that worked was to remove the offending package (libjpeg in your case), then install libjpeg again. You'll undoubtedly find that a "fink remove libjpeg" will fail as the libjpeg package is a dependency for a bunch of other packages. However, you can use the "--force-remove" option for dpkg to remove the package despite the dependencies. So, try: sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends libjpeg fink install libjpeg I also ran into a few dependencies that I simply could not get to compile, but there were slightly older versions available as binaries through dselect, which worked just fine. For whatever reason this spate of fink problems only persisted for a week or so, and once I got over that hump things have basically worked very well (except for grass). Every once in a while I run into a package that takes several goes before it compiles, with each attempt seemingly getting closer to the end before it fails.
