Fink hangs with "IPC failure: Operation not permitted"

On OS X 10.7, I tried to install enlightenment via a fresh installation of Fink.

   cd /sw/bin
   ./fink install enlightenment
    Scanning package description files..........

Then nothing happens. Console shows the following error:

org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.stub:
launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: Operation not permitted

...

Then I after installing XQuartz... I got this : could not determine XFree86 version number

Which might be fixed with the instructions from this blog: http://finkers.wordpress.com/2011/02/

How long did you wait? How many times did you try? Has Fink ever worked for you on this computer? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2012-05-27T17:27:37.153

@techie007 I waited about 30 mins so far, I tried 4 times. I ran init.sh and turned output up to maximum, after I did that I got the scanning pacakge message, before I didn't even get that. I've never used Fink before on this machine. I've never used Fink before now. – patrickinmpls – 2012-05-27T17:29:59.933

Any interesting messages printed in Console.app? Maybe try a fink selfupdate and then installing again. – slhck – 2012-05-27T17:48:56.330

@sihck good call on Console.app : org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.stub: launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: Operation not permitted – patrickinmpls – 2012-05-27T18:41:06.817

Did you install XQuartz correctly? Maybe try reinstalling from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ — seems like a very rare issue though. (btw, it's sLhck, with an L ;)

@slhck I don't remember installing XQuartz, is it installed by default? – patrickinmpls – 2012-05-27T18:56:15.597

Well, you need this for GUI apps (scroll down on Fink's installation instructions). So, try installing X11 and then try again. – slhck – 2012-05-27T18:58:38.010
