I'm not sure how it's even _possible_ for you to try to build fink under a non-root user without modifying /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/base/fink-10.8.info and removing the "BuildAsNobody: false" line. Have you made any warranty-violating modifications? :-) As a workaround, see if "fink --no-build-as-nobody install fink" works. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
