Glad that worked Walt. For what it's worth, these problems don't happen with a "clean" fink installation on Snow Leopard. I'm not suggesting that there's anything wrong with trying to upgrade fink in place from Leopard to Snow Leopard because many people have it done it, but it might be a lot less heartache to remove it and start fresh in some cases. Then again, if we could determine all the trouble spots, it might be possible to make a list of which packages should be rebuilt when upgrading. From a support perspective it is most efficient to simply recommend clean installs, but since there are already instructions about how to upgrade, maybe we could modify them to include a running list of need-to-be-rebuilt packages. I'm just thinking out loud here. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
