But the error message that I get it: Please note: the command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine updating; you only need to use 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink selfupdate-rsync' if you are changing your update method. The current selfupdate method is point. Do you wish to change the default selfupdate method to cvs? [Y/n] Failed: Before changing your selfupdate method to 'cvs', you must install XCode, available on your original OS X install disk, or from http://connect.apple.com (after free registration). I do have XCode installed. I looked around for this error message, but the only result I got was that I needed to have XCode 3.0, which I seem to have. Any ideas?
