Hello,
I apologize if this seems like a mundane problem, but I can't find any help in either the documentation, FAQ or fink-beginners list. I recently downloaded fink, and the installation went smoothly. I already downloaded XDarwin, and followed the appropriate steps to inform fink I had done so. For a few days, fink worked perfectly. Now I can't download anything. If I try to install packages via the fink command, I get the following error ***** The following 4 additional packages will be installed: dlcompat fftw lesstif netcdf Do you want to continue? [Y/n] rm -rf dlcompat-20020413-1 mkdir -p /sw/src/dlcompat-20020413-1 tar -xzf /sw/src/dlcompat-20020413.tar.gz Failed: directory /sw/src/dlcompat-20020413-1/dlcompat-20020413 doesn't exist, check the package description ***** If I try to sudo apt-get command, I get the following error message: ***** dpkg: error processing /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/grace_5.1.5-4_darwin-powerpc.deb (--unpack): failed to open package info file `/sw/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' for reading: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/grace_5.1.5-4_darwin-powerpc.deb E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ****** I can't use dselect, since I get the following error message: ***** Error opening terminal: vt100. ****** I have modified my .cshrc as instructed, and I am certain it runs properly. All the above worked a few days ago, and I have not modified anything since then. Any information to help me out would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. =============== Louis Desroches ----------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
