Hi,
I've just repartitioned my hard drive (trying to move my /Users to a separate partition), and reloaded OS X 10.3. I'm now trying to reinstall Fink to the main partition (the root drive). I've enabled the root user, and would like to run fink after su-ing to root (I've used this method quite successfully before).
I downloaded the install package from the web page, and the install went smoothly enough (I had to modify my .bash_profile by hand, but that is to be expected).
When I run "echo $PATH" I get:
root# echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Volumes/Data/Users/ riki:/usr/X11R6/bin
Which looks OK, as far as I can remember.
When I run "fink selfupdate", after some propmts, I get:
Now downloading package descriptions...
cvs -q -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink checkout -d fink dists
can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv31747
Permission denied
### execution of cvs failed, exit code 1
Failed: Downloading package descriptions from CVS failed.
"ls -l tmp" gives me the following:
root# ls -l /tmp lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 13 5 Jul 14:08 /tmp -> /private/tmp/
and "ls -l /private/" is:
ls -l /private/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 95 root wheel 3230 5 Jul 13:56 etc drwxrwxrwt 8 root wheel 272 5 Jul 14:22 tmp drwxr-xr-x 19 root admin 646 5 Jul 11:29 var
I'm not sure what is wrong, or how I should fix it. The file permissions seem OK (though I'm not really sure what the sticky-bit on /private/tmp will do). I'm a little nervous about changing them.
Did I just forget something simple? Any suggestions?
