fink --no-use-binary-dist install tetex-texmf Current versions of fink default to trying to install packages from binaries when available. You can set the --no-use-binary-dist flag to avoid this for a per-operation basis, or if you change the UseBinaryDist line in /sw/etc/fink.conf to be "false" that will do it for all fink invocations. -- Alexander K.
