Do you mean that you've read Q5.34 of the FAQ and it doesn't make any
sense to you, or that you've read the FAQ and you can't find the answer
to your problem?


Q5.34: I can't install Fink via the Installer package, because I get
"volume doesn't support symlinks" errors.

A: This message commonly means that you've tried to run the Fink
installer as user who doesn't have administrative privileges. Make sure
to log in at the login screen as such a user or switch to such a user
in the Finder (i.e. fast user switching) before starting the Fink
installer.

If you're having trouble even when using an admin account, then it's
likely a problem with the permissions on your top-level directory. Use
Apple's Disk Utility, select the hard drive in question, choose the
First Aid tab, and press Repair Disk Permissions.

Cheers

Brian
