[Fink-users] Not sure what's wrong here...

[Philip Trauring]

I haven't been able to install anything using Fink in a long time. I don't know what's wrong. For example, if I try to do a binary update of curl (even though my binary is up to date) I get the following sequence:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Sorry, curl is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 18  not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Setting up fink (0.18.3-1) ...
Checking system... powerpc-apple-darwin7.4.0
/usr/sbin/gcc_select: line 1: grep: command not found

Since you have gcc 3.3 installed, fink must be bootstrapped or updated using 
that compiler.  However, you currently have gcc an unknown version selected.  To correct 
this problem, run the command: 

sudo gcc_select 3.3 

dpkg: error processing fink (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
fink
E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

but when I try to run that command in the terminal I get the following:

[23:37:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > sudo gcc_select 3.3
Password:
/usr/sbin/gcc_select: line 1: grep: command not found
Error trying to determine current cc version (got )
[23:37:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > 

Any ideas what the heck is going on?

Thanks,

Philip
