I shall have to claim ignorance here, Alexander, in that I'm not certain
what you mean. For the run you see above, I simply had Fink Commander
install "autoconf2.5." Any command was run automatically from that point
on; I made no input. I hope this answers your question, but if not, please
ask again.

I did indeed do a "fink rebuild texi2html." In fact, I installed and
reinstalled it several times over the weekend.
You are correct that originally there was no executable. Subsequent runs
did install one, however, the name of the file in /sw/bin/ is
"texi2html.texi2html" rather than "texi2html," which seems odd.
Interestingly enough, my desktop G4 (running similar, but not exact,
software as the PowerBook) has the same file in the same folder. But what
is really odd is that the file on the desktop G4 was *not* named
"texi2html.texi2html" two days ago; rather, it was named "texi2html" when I
first checked there. (I have not updated the desktop machine for at least a
month.)
As you may recall, the PowerBook was originally showing a file in /sw/bin
named "texi2html" which was a generic looking icon, and "Get Info" could not
resolve it. At least now it is an executable, even though named strangely
in my opinion.
