The point is that the issue isn't one involving a Fink package. We're not the clearance house for general OS X-related issues. > Nevertheless, thank you for replying. > Perhaps I'll have a better chance on a FreeBSD list. Or perhaps one of the forums related to general OS X issues. Your error looks to me like your keydrive is using a file system that isn't supported by OS X, but I'm not completely sure about that. > > Harald > > - - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkt9U1IACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/6PwCgppuYcPnVJK8ebuGki6ZUfeSV C68AoJI7r6dkLogB+ytaGJ9pC5rva1xF =BF62 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
