It seems one of the installation scripts of system-tetex uses the ranlib program which comes with the Developer Tools, and you probably don't have the Developer Tools installed. I am CCing the package maintainer to ask whether ranlib is really necessary here. If you want to compile things from source yourself, you need the dev tools, of course, but if you just want to install Fink's binary distribution, this should not be necessary. Maybe the script could look whether ranlib is available, and if not, give a warning about possible evils that may come upon you later on. Stefano, if you want to install system-tetex right now without installing the dev tools before, you can trick the install script into thinking you have ranlib while you don't (this is probably very bad advice and should only be used in truely desperate situations): sudo ln -s ls /sw/bin/ranlib Then, after the installation has gone through: sudo rm /sw/bin/ranlib -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
