That's pretty out-dated. The packages he talks about copying are already in 10.3/stable; installing the "python" package is a much safer way of getting the bin/python link than making it manually; vpython is already available as a fink package (visual-py23) that knows how to arrange all its dependencies correctly. > and everything worked perfectly.

Manually edited files may block fink's selfupdate mechanism from downloading newer versions of those files. Try deleting the ones you copied. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
