My macos is Mojave, 10.14.4, and Xcode has been fully updated. I completed the task this morning. Additionally, after I downloaded Xcode through App Store, a popup announced

Install additional required components? Xcode requires additional components to support running and debugging. Choose install to add required components.

and I fully complied. Finally I was able to open Xcode and the version is

Xcode 10.2.1 (10E1001)

For extra measure, I rebooted the computer. But fink still will not function; see below.

Thanks to Alexander Hansen, Ph.D., Fink User Liaison, on [email protected]:

fink 0.43.1 won’t work on Mojave, period. We really can’t make a fink release work on OS versions that are newer, so we encourage people to update fink before updating the OS.

You can download a fink version that will work from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/files/fink/0.44.1/fink_0.44.1-131_darwin-x86_64.deb/download , then from a terminal windowuse “sudo dpkg -i $HOME/Downloads/fink_0.44.1-131_darwin-x86_64.deb” to update it (replace $HOME/Downloads) with your actual download location.

This did the trick and I was subsequently able to install jhead.
