I think this is a bug in the start-session-bus.sh script: On 10.4, `launchctl list` usually gives no output at all, and the "grep -c" command then hangs. Maybe the command `launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -c org.finkproject.dbus-session` should be replaced by something like `(echo nothing; launchctl list) 2>/dev/null | grep -c org.finkproject.dbus-session` -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
