and have done fink selfupdate etc

but am still running into a problem installing wget

Any suggestions?

I've attached the 'fink install wget' output to this email

We prefer inline logs to attachments because it's easier to snip the former 
down to the relevant issue rather than having to copy and paste out of a file

In your case that would be:

Looking for incorrect headers in 194 dependency files...
./src/.deps/warc.Po uses /usr/local/include/zconf.h
./src/.deps/warc.Po uses /usr/local/include/zlib.h

You've installed a third-party zlib; something else probably put that there for 
its own benefit. I'm not sure why packages like to do this, since OS X comes 
with its own zlib--that's what we use.

Libraries in /usr/local are problematic, because

1) They can be overwritten easily by newer (or older) incompatible versions of 
themselves, causing runtime breakage.
2) It's essentially impossible to hide /usr/local from the build tools.

We recommend temporarily renaming /usr/local while building with Fink:
