Hi, Peter-- Okay, so...I tried to do an update-all, and got hung up on a file which wouldn't download, and there's no option to skip, just retry or fail. However, I then went through fink list, and saw teknap!!! Thank you!! I then installed it, and NO ERRORS!!!! Yay! Thank you again!
And (drum roll please....) It's running!!!! Thank you!
