> Where can I find out > what prebindings are? Prebinding is the process of pre-assigning memory addresses which will be needed by the program when it is executed. Doing this greatly speeds up the launching of programs, and it is the same thing that is done by Apple's installer when you see the message about "optimizing the disk".
For some reason, the prebindings of Fink programs occasionally become corrupted when people update. We suspect that it is because the Fink prebinding script (which runs after the update appears to be complete) got interrupted, but we don't have a complete understanding of this problem yet. Running the "fix-prebinding" script by hand is the only way at present to address this problem.
