I finally got Gimp and aalib to install (and all the parts of KDE that I wanted, namely the base and Koffice and KDEgames, don't need the whole bundle). As far as I can tell it isn't the whole SystemWorks suite that is causing the prob but Anti-virus auto-protect specifically. Try turning off any and all unnecessary background processes first. Anti-virus, fax listeners, special hardware drivers that "listen" for events like mouse drivers, etc. Then make note of everything that you turned off and try again. For those things with no gui option to turn them off you can either use top to get their process id's and then sudo kill (process id #) or use the Process Viewer application to kill them. Some of them may require you to log in as root to kill them via Process Viewer. Be careful what you kill though, you could crash you system, but it isn't likely that you could do any lasting damage. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
