Robert:
Thanks for your hint about inject.pl.
I should not have been attempting to start with ./inject.pl,
although it would be rather difficult to determine
exactly where I was suppose to start. When I attempted to use
the install script, it indicated that I should run inject.pl. I now
see that I was a terrible naive Fink user. I found elsewhere
in the documentation that I should instead start by either removing or moving my
current /sw folder. I moved it using "sudo mv /sw /sw10.5", just in case
I needed it later. Then, I needed only to do the following:
% cd fink-0.29.10
% bootstrap
or
% sudo bootstrap
or
% sudo ./bootstrap
It took about 15 minutes to install. I needed to type my password once
and "none" for one of the questions. Otherwise I hit the return key to
use the default settings. Thanks to those of you who helped
and to those who wrote all the software.
Here's a recap for others who encounter the same problems.
* I was unable to update Fink for MacOS 10.6 using the instructions
from 2009-08-28 that are on the Fink homepage.
* Instead the following worked:
Download fink-0.29.10.tar.gz
Uncompress the above if it doesn't do so automatically
Open a terminal window
Change directories to the fink-0.29.10 directory
then type
bootstrap
Cheers,
Gary
