Ok, that part gets solved with just replacing the fink.conf with a file that just gives a Basepath. whew. > >So, a) anyone have any idea how to grow a new, workable fink.conf? > > b) If I rebuild Storable in fink, isn't it now not going to work for > > the /usr/bin/perl (i.e. 5.6.0 from apple)? > > Right, you need two different versions of Storable, one for 5.6.x, and > the other for 5.8.x. Will fink allow you to keep two different versions? If so, how? I am bamfoozled.

What I meant was *not* at login, but when fink itself actually needs it. I.e., instead of having fink's Storable be in use always, just have it be used when *fink* is using it. Maybe there's some good reason for it, but I don't know what it is. Also, pudding. dha -- David H.
