So, I've tried to make a package of usbutils. Can't claim to have met
big success. I got the following message:

This was a good opportunity for me to start learning Perl. So it seems
that the @INC variable, which is supposed to contain the path to
relevant core modules misses out my /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm.
I therefore have a few questions:
1- How come fink is unable to see the perl distribution it installed?
2- Could someone explain, or point to relevant links, on what this piece
of code is effectively doing? I would not want to fix this situation too
brutally.
By the way, on
http://www.finkproject.org/doc/quick-start-pkg/example.php?phpLang=en#build
it is mentionned that I should execute fink -m --build-as-nobody
rebuild. But the -m switch does not seem to be a valid argument. Have I
missed something?
I Thank you for any help.
Sincerely yours,
Guillaume Yziquel.
