Install better ls, du, and df tools in 10.3
Authored by: Adeimantus on Apr 12, '04 09:03:55PM
Thanks for mentioning that! Over a week or two, I'd compiled & installed quite a few programs using the normal "configure", "make all", "sudo make install" commands (including, IIRC, updating my coreutils install from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1), all outside of fink. Then one day, fink said it needed to be selfupdated, but would error out each time I tried to run "fink selfupdate", saying something like "unsupported system type: 'unknown'".

I just tried sudo chmod -x /usr/local/bin/uname, then ran fink selfupdate, and it worked! Woohoo!
