Fink cannot be installed on this computer (Fink on Mac Mini)

[Mathias Lin | SYSVISION]

I try to install Fink 0.8.1 for OS X 10.4 PPC on my MacMini, which runs on OS X 10.4.

Strangely, when I run the dmg the installation routine gives me the message "Fink cannot be installed on this computer. This installer is for OS X 10.4 only. Please visit ..."

Anyone experienced similar problem? Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks.

The problem was a bug in the Fink installer, which assumes that there's a minor version such as 10.4.0, so it expects a second '.' in the version number of the OS.
This can be fixed by modifying the installer script of Fink (or updating the OS X version should help as well, because all newer version numbers have a second '.' in it).
