I got a new 12" PB and wanted to install fink (new install).

Downloaded the 0.70 file and installed. No error messages.

Rebooted, and went to try to install vim and wget. Both fail. With wget, I get

configure:1661: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
the last 2 lines actually are echoed to the Terminal, the above is a copied section of the config.log that seemed relevant.

I did install Xcode, X11, and the X11 SDK (not installed by default)

Ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

problem solved.. seems Xcode 1.0 is not enough for fink 0.70. I installed 1.1 and problem went away. (have not dont this on my G4/800 with 0.6x fink)
