Virex 7.2 Hazardous to Fink's Health

Gorgonzola writes "It was reported that Virex 7.2 and Fink were conflicting, it turned out that Virex 7.2 was overwriting libraries in Fink's default directory, thus hosing Fink for those who had it installed, and preventing Fink from installing for future users. Also, one user pointed out that of Virux's included packages, several (CURL, OpenSSL, and DLCompat) had license terms that Virex was ignoring." It is strongly recommended you don't install Virex 7.2 until this issue is resolved.

    If you don't understand what Fink is, when there's a link to the Fink web site in the article and you've presumably read the description on the front page, maybe you should get rid of the Mac and find something a little more in line with your mental capacity. Like, an Etch-A-Sketch.
