I can confirm this, the same thing happened to me once within the last

present/pertinent. No insight to offer towards a solution, sorry :(
'sudo fink index' bypassed the problem.

Personally I'd like to see DadaDodo in Fink. (You may remember me from

My take on this issue is people use Fink because they don't want to (or
don't know how to) compile/install/remove unix-ish software on their
own, so

I am a total newbie with X11.
Is there a way to permanently tell Apple's X11 to append Fink's /sw in

This is required for example to run xboard together with gnuchess. One

Hehe, well at least with redo_prebinding the entire disk isn't scanned
like update_prebinding does. (BTW I think in 10.2 the installer's

A little more investigation reveals:

Using the new Shlibs field to do this would be perfect, sounds like an
excellent idea Ben. :)

Hi,
There's a lot of work involved to build all of fink's dylib libraries
as prebound, it probably won't happen any time soon.
However, any program which depends only on Apple-supplied dylibs can
easily be built prebound using the -prebind flag in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
Some packages already do
No it doesn't break anything when prebinding fails for some reason,
just outputs a compiler warning and continues building. I patched my
personal copy of fink a few months ago to include these flags by
default and have had no problems due to it at all.
