Did you rebuild "fink", the package manager, or "Fink" the whole distro? The former wouldn't actually do anything. The latter is more likely to work, though a bit excessive. Let's check a few more things. What do you get from "apt-cache policy aspell"? Does it lock up with every file? Does it lock up when you use a Terminal.app window? - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk25cRwACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+12QCfXpYg51ZkD2I1vUOfa66/STEm qqQAniYw6IE0PkLCNLSkijQn9wYoofQC =I0fi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
