I do not really understand this. Fink is not suppossed to install  
anything anywhere else than in the /sw/... tree and /Applications/ 
Fink. Direct installations into /Applications are the matter of  
the .dmg based packages, which is a different way not related to fink.

How do you use fink for your work with freepascal and lazarus?
