Fink can be installed as either i386 or x86_64 on OS X 10.6. A particular Fink install can only be for a single architecture, but multiple (fully independent that in theory never talk to each other) installations are possible if you install fink from its source tarball (say in /sw and /sw64). So when you installed Fink, you must have told it to do 32bit. You can verify this with the command "fink -V | head -n 2". Fink is internally consistent, so of course, packages installed by it are all of the same architecture (i386 programs run just fine on a 64bit CPU). On Snow Leopard, the compiler defaults to 64bit binaries, so if you give it 32bit libraries, it will throw an error. If you wish to compile stuff using Fink provided libraries, you have 2 options: 1) Compile all your external stuff as 32 bit to match the Fink provided binaries (sytem libraries are all multi-architecture). To avoid the wrong architecture error, add "-arch i386" to your compiler commands. 2) Install Fink with the 64bit option (either by erasing your existing 32bit install or by installing 64bit Fink in a separate location [/sw64 is a common option]). The 32/64 bit option is chosen during the bootstrap phase of installation. Then point your compiler to the 64bit Fink libraries instead of the 32bit libraries.
