I think my problem is that when I configured CPAN I did something like answering "y" when it asked me for a path to put stuff.
Now it puts stuff in a directory named "y". I may have done something equally weird when I installed Fink. It now seems that CPAN installations of modules cannot find stuff they need that have been installed by Fink. And I don't know where to make the necessary changes to fix this in either Fink or CPAN. How do I configure CPAN and Fink? I'm feeling incredibly stupid today. Nothing I'm doing is right.... -- Bill Stephenson
