I'm not sure this will work, but give it a try: 1) Rename your /sw that has the tarballs in it to something like /sw.bkup (you'll need to do it as a superuser) 2) Run the bootstrap script again 3) As soon as /sw/ has been created, and the script comes to a pause, such as when the following question comes up: In what additional directory should Fink look for downloaded tarballs? [] then copy the tarballs from your /sw.bkup/src into /sw/src (again, as superuser) - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrkS44ACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+/eQCbBEpv1Llf3c1MHGSn1EBjo7eX ZVIAoJ4cMSZw3I0raTRIUdmlFexrnJvl =Z11G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
