Ah. If a bootstrap fails in the middle, a selfupdate isn't going to work. You'd need to track down why it failed.

I didn't even know they had a package. My best suggestion if you want to get Fink working would be to try the bootstrap again and then post back with whatever error you see. I'd recommend removing your Macports dpkg if you do that, to avoid anything odd. For that matter, it's possible that your Fink bootstrap might be failing because it's finding Macports stuff (if you had that installed at the time). It wouldn't be a bad idea to try your Fink bootstrap in a shell session where Macports' environment isn't activated (or move its whole tree temporarily). The two systems can coexist at runtime, but for builds it's usually a good plan to deactivate the other system. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
