I just installed Fink on my new PowerBook G4 and I'm getting errors whenever
I try to install anything. I checked the FAQ and found some suggestions to
install the ml-parser-pm581 package. Installation of this package also
failed. An example of a failed ImageMagick installation is shown below.
Please reply with any suggestions. Thanks.

That error typically shows up if there's something wrong with the Developer Tools (wrong version, an extraneous library under /usr/local, etc...). You should check the config.log file in the expat build directory under /sw/src to see if there's anything illuminating there, too.
