You don't need to start with 'sudo'.  Fink is smart enough to ask for
elevated permissions when it needs to.

This only says that the build failed but doesn't give any information as
to *what* failed.  Look earlier in the build for an actual error message
during the build process.  The output you provide should include the
compiler command (usually starting with gcc or g++) as well as the text of
the actual error that occurred.

Tophat is set to build with only one build job because some of the
compilation steps are very computationally expensive and on the two
systems that I tried, the computer became almost unusable during the
build.  In this case, the build job number should not be the cause of the
failure.
