"can't install package..." is the _result_ of literally any install-phase failure.
The actual error is somewhere above all of that stuff. Try doing "fink install tetex-base" again, and look for an earlier error. Because the failure was at install time, fink should use the binary that you've just compiled as part of your prior attempt. If you remove /sw and reinstall Fink, I'll predict you're going to be exactly in the same place again. Fink is highly deterministic in how it operates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
