Let's keep this on the list, please. I'm not getting paid to be personal tech support here, and I am not the maintainer for the buildlock system.
The launchctl issue is completely unrelated. On the bright side, we're running out of possible parameter space where the problem could be. Try "fink cleanup --bl" and if that doesn't work, then look in /sw/var/run/fink/buildlock/ for any files. On 12/20/12 7:50 AM, Watson, David W. (MSFC-ES62) wrote: > Those files weren't there.
