You just need to run "fink configure".

On one of the options which asks for a path, you entered a 'y' by 
mistake.  As you go through the "fink configure" options one of them 
will show [y] after the text.  For that one, DO NOT pick the default 
value, but instead hit the space bar and then return.  This will clear 
the bad entry.
