Now finally getting comfortable on the new PowerBook, and after weeks of whining about no OS X packages I discovered the fink binaries, which I dutifully installed last night.
Bad idea. They are normally old, install in stupid locations, are not very well documented on what, how and where they install.
It is better (and easy enough) to install from source. Only thing you need are the Xcode Tools from Apple. If you really need a package, send me a mail, I have a package somewhere (8.1.3) or I can build a 8.1.4 installer package.
A very good installation tutorial is here: http://home.exetel.com.au/lachlandeck/blog/?p=7 cug
