if you have XDarwin installed on your machine, which is available independently from Fink, you don't need Fink to run silc. you'll just need to download its source file, usually named "silc-client-VERSION.tar.gz", untar it by "tar zxvf silce-client-VERSION-tar.gz" on Terminal, read README and INSTALL, follow instructions given.it used to be maintained in silcnet, however tery moved it to unstable/crypto. it is ironic i need fink to worl just to get that one package. i'm talking to the maintainer...sorry to bother you
as far as i check it out now, default installation targets /usr/local. so, if you may need to create /usr/local if you don't have one.
a caveat: if you don't have Developer Tools installed, available freely from Apple's web site, you definitely need to install it; without it, you can't install softwares in this fashion.
hope this helps
cheers,
kow
