Please don’t use screenshots for reports. Fink is a text-oriented tool, and
it’s much better just to copy and paste the text from your terminal into a
message. That makes it easier for us to highlight the text in message
threads, and for people who have the same problem to search online and find the
message.
You’re showing a failure, and that’s why the command isn’t found. The “fink”
package was never installed to provide the command.
I haven’t seen anything similar to
./install.sh: line 79: syntax error near unexpected token `doin'
in any reports. The relevant portion of that file has:
{dpkg,apt-get}-lockwait; do
install -c -p -m 755 $bin "$basepath/bin/"
so it looks like maybe the “do” and the “install” got mashed together, but I
don’t know how that could happen, to be honest, unless you happened to have
edited that file (perhaps by accident).
Try the following:
1) Remove the /sw directory that you just set up.
2) Try the install again, but use fink-0.38.4.
If it fails again, post the error (as text please) and we’ll try to sort it out.
