ethereal, glib, gettext, , pkg-config, fink

[broke]

Hi

I tried to install ethereal from source, by installing required libaries/stuff like glib, gettext and pkg-config with fink. I think I also may have tried to install them by hand before installing with fink...

some time along the way, programs like opera and limewire can´t run. I also noticed that on my "Apple Menu", labels like "log/turn off" "restart" have a duplicate. The list goes like this:

When I try to download files with Safari, like opera.dmg. I get an error: "file can not be verified"

Have anyone had similar problems, or do you know where to begin debugging my system ?

Or do you recon a system restore is quickest and best ? I only have mp3s, pictures and some movies. Less than 10gig all in total. All help will be appreciated.

I deleted /sbin/screenreaderd and killed the process.

This made the duplicate items in the apple menu go away...

My only problem now is that I can not run newly downloaded dmg files... I can install old ones I have lying around on my system, but not new ones I have downloaded with ftp or safari. verification failed, not recognized

If I open the .dmg with Disk Utility, I get this message

Write status for disk: not activated

I will move this thread now, since its not unix related...
