Yes, that's what I meant. Installation goes to %i/include, I just meant
to say that the headers end up in %p/include.

Hehe, I might try that... but I think I'll first go for a "mv
%i/include" in the InstallScript.

They are in /sw/include (that's what I meant by %p/include above). What
I have there is
[floyd:/sw/fink/debs] bkuemmer% dpkg -c
dcmtk-ssl_3.5.1-3_darwin-powerpc.deb |grep include
drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 0 2002-03-01 12:44:48 ./sw/include/
-rw-r--r-- root/wheel 947 2002-03-01 12:44:19
./sw/include/osconfig.h
-rw-r--r-- root/wheel 14180 2002-03-01 12:44:19 ./sw/include/config.h
drwxr-xr-x root/wheel 0 2002-03-01 12:44:21 ./sw/include/ofstd/
[snip]
and a bunch of other dirs like ofstd...
So at least config.h and osconfig.h have to go from there!

;-) Too much work and not enough time. Anyway, keep up the good work!
