The problem is that this version the package is in the unstable tree so that there's no official .deb file laying around. You'd have to build the package somewhere. On either of the machines that aren't having problems you'd activate the unstable tree, run "fink selfupdate" with rsync or cvs updating, and just run "fink install gcc4 gcc4-shlibs" (the latter is redundant, but let's make sure things work). At that point you can just copy the gcc4-4.1.0*.deb files over to the machine that's having problems. You don't need to do anything fancy with the copy--the files can go in your home directory. Then running "sudo dpkg -i gcc4-shlibs gcc4" should do the trick. -- Alexander K.
