Thanks so much for your help, Dr. Hansen! Here is the line I should have given you:
> 001ec20e5e44:~ evanjohnson$ fink update gtk-doc [...] > checking whether /usr/bin/python version >= 2.3... configure: error: too old [...] which, now that I know to ignore the stuff about VirtPackage.pm, is the first error message. After executing > 001ec20e5e44:~ evanjohnson$ fink update python I found that the problem persisted (that is, /usr/bin/python still did not actually exist), so to fix it I executed: $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python I then executed $ fink update gtk-doc without problems and proceeded to execute $ fink update svn which also worked without problems. Thanks again for helping me to identify the relevant error message. Alec On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 04:05:10PM -0700, Alexander Hansen wrote: > On 3/29/12 1:41 PM, E.
