That FAQ only applies at compile time, not at install time--it's typically associated with immediately fatal errors. Try closing applications down as a quick-and-dirty thing to try. If that doesn't work, I found upon searching the list archives that prior instances of this problem were associated with the generation of a corrupted .deb file during the compile phase. Try "fink -l rebuild gcc44-compiler", and if you get the same error, check the fink-build-gcc44-* log in /tmp to see what's going on during the .deb generation phase. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwNnCcACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9zRwCfbP8DnFCn+7avIKKTSorNyOn/ J1oAniI07XjQLA4EMU+hc4rV8HSzmimk =xUsS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
