[Fink-beginners] Beginner's bungling

Hi not so long ago, I decided to try OpenOffice on my G4 laptop. I installed Apple's X11, then OpenOffice, and all was happy. Then I installed Fink, and FinkCommander, and tried installing a few other packages (such as Links). Still everything was OK. Then I decided to install gnubg. FinkComma
