Mark, Thanks for the careful debugging of the problem. I can offer a bit more information.
Fink actually determines the uname values by running the script /sw/lib/fink/update/config.guess . I can't quite work out what environment variables are supposed to be in effect when that script is called, but the script certainly calls "uname" rather than "/usr/bin/uname" and so if the $PATH is wrong at that point, things might go astray. It is indeed ironic that the GNU version of uname doesn't work here, particularly since config.guess also comes from a GNU product, namely libtool :) One or the other of these needs fixing! -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
