Hi, I was in the middle of a successful install on my new OS (Mac 10.3), when the system went down. When I tried to re-install, it sent me a message that it couldn't install on this computer because "a root directory /sw exists."
My question: Can I un-install, then re-install? This doesn't seem to be an option. Also, I ran pathsetup, and it says my system is set up properly to download.
Thanks for your help. Z
Sorry, no. Fink's installer isn't that sophisticated. You need to run
sudo rm -rf /sw
in a terminal window, then reinstall it.
And pathsetup just checks that the appropriate startup script is set up to read in the Fink environment.
