Thanks for that. I did have to delete a very large number of old packages that the OS/X 10.9 version of fink doesn't seem to have heard of, but that also told me what I'd be missing that I used to use. I did run into a glitch with Java (surprise, surprise!) -- somehow the link to CurrentVersion did not get set in the appropriate place, so I had to track it down and put in a symlink. Works now. (I seem to recall that something like this happened before, so I shouldn't be too surprised. I see that most of the sage advice about Java lately has boiled down to "Don't use Java unless you have to!" I have to. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software. Cisco certified tool.
