Hi all, I have a problem when trying to install xml-sax-pm586 package using fink on Mac OSX. I read through the email thread at the archives at http://www.archivesat.com/Fink_users_discussion_and_support_/thread1213832.htm that discusses the same exact error. The solution in the email archive is to make sure init.sh is sourced correctly. I have a line in my .profile which says '. /sw/bin/init.sh' and there is no .bash_profile file, so it should be sourced correctly. I also manually sourced init.sh and tried to install, but still gives me the same error. Any other ideas?
Below is my command and the exact error message. I am running Mac OSX 10.4.9 and fink version 0.24.22 Thanks for all your help, Prachi P.S.
