What got removed with your OS update was the headers in /usr/include, but the executables were still present. The fink bootstrap procedure currently checks for the presence of these executables, and it therefore found nothing to indicate that it should stop. A change which tests the command-line tools version at bootstrap time is likely to be part of the next release. > *Update on solution:* > I now ran the undocumented "xcode-select --install" manually which > resulted in an additional install with a separate program.

We don't have any control whatsoever about what they do or don't do. _We_ either running the command or downloading the tools from Apple in our online and bundled documentation (English only, unfortunately, due to a lack of resources). We wouldn't have told you to run a command without the presumption that it would work for you. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
