I've never had a fink/ports package fail to compile properly. I HAVE had to run it more than once, and either update or install a small mountain of dependencies.

On my desktop machine (10.6.8 Server with XCode 3.2.5) `fink install alpine` compiled in 12 minutes.

When I "run it more than once" I get nothing. What is wrong, please?

No packages to install.

I'd wager a guess that the package in question is already installed.

It looks like you are right. It is an alpine executable, not re-alpine, so I did not know where it was. Thanks to all. Now I have to get it configured.
