Correct: they both install files with the same names but different contents.

The real issue here is that some packages require the gettext-dev form of the file while others require the libgettext3-dev form of it. Can't have both installed at once obviously:) The version "fink" program you are using can't figure out how to install "whichever one is needed at the moment" and then swap when the other one is needed later during that same fink run. It picks "one that is needed sometime during this fink run" and installs it at the very beginning; the buildlock then causes an abort rather than letting you blindly compile somethine later with the "wrong" one installed. We're working on teaching fink to swap packages on-the-fly, which should cut down on this type of crash. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
