I just read on the fink page that it is incompatible with Virex 7.2. I installed Virex 7.2 after installing fink. What should I do?

The problem is Virex inexplicably decides to make a /sw directory in your root folder, which of course fink uses.

You could try and run fink and see what happens, otherwise it's likely Virex hosed that directory.

I dunno about you all, but given the choices here, I'm rooting for fink.
