What OS X version and Fink architecture (i.e., if you're on 10.6, 32-bit
or 64-bit)?

Doesn't really matter.  And giving a _number_ is much more useful than
saying "latest", because your "latest" and our "latest" may not match.

"fink list xcode" gives that.

Removing Fink wasn't needed.  That only helps for a small subset of
possible issues.

I've never heard one way or the other whether that does anything useful.
 Removing $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.sburrious.finkcommander.plist
sometimes does.

Are you running it from its disk image, or from a place in the file
system you can actually write to?

Did you try running the "Update Table" command in Fink Commander?

If you're on 64-bit, try setting the Perl interpreter to
/usr/bin/perl5.8.9 in the Fink Commander Preferences.
