| Fink had a problem installing this version of Emacs because |
| emacs21 couldn't be launched successfully. |
| |
| This typically happens when the package was compiled on a |
| system with an older version of Mac OS X installed. At this |
| point you should try recompiling the emacs version that caused |
| this error with a command like: |
| fink rebuild <flavor> |
| where <flavor> is a package name like `emacs21' or `emacs21-nox' |
| |
| If this doesn't solve the problem, please notify the maintainer |
| of the emacs package in question. |

could i just nuke emacs in various place that it exists and try again? i
tried removing it, but fink pukes on that...
