[conspire] Building with Fink

[John Andrews]

c-67-180-78-131:/sw/src Bca$ fink validate /sw/fink/dists/local/main/ 
finkinfo/maxwell.info
Validating package file /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/ 
maxwell.info...
Package looks good!

.	This is the command that the Fink tutorial said to use to(" make"  
or" build" maxwell)
Why do they call it rebuild? This is my first attempt to "make" maxwell.

The following package will be rebuilt:

	What does can't locate services refer to.?

This is in var/tmp/tmp.1.CbLqq8.  no-same-owner --no-same- 
permissions  maybe thats why gzip failed!

	I previously redownloaded  and fixed the Check sum5 value.It must  
have something to do with building as nobody./ permissions.
It gets complicated and confusing!

Does anyone have some comments about this? Maybe I should try the  
Fink forum.
