Hi Alexander, "fink -l rebuild gcc44-compiler" seemed to work - the package seems to have been installed. However, I still get a few of the following messages: dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `gcc44-compiler' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. Why is this? Is it a cause for concern? (Relevant part of the output shown below) Thanks again, Jon Removing runtime build-lock...
