Don't see how installing packages has anything to do with Flip4Mac....it doesn't install anything that affects the system library (to my knowledge) Maybe you've thought of this already, but I'd recommend you repair permissions from within the Disc Utility.

If you're still not able to install stuff after repairing permissions, I'd suggest you create a new user account and try to install whatever, there. You can always delete that account later, but it would be a good indicator to see if something is fouled up within your primary user account.
