Evidently, I do not have a correctly installed texi2html. I have no /sw/bin/texi2html at all, although I do have a /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html which is an executable. I do have /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html, but the Finder is unable to show the original, rather offering to "Fix" or "Delete" it when "Show Original" is chosen. > On the Terminal command line you see this as follows: > > $ ls -l /sw/bin/texi2html* > lrwxr-xr-x [] /sw/bin/texi2html -> /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html > -rwxr-xr-x [] /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html For that command I receive: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 141748 May 12 14:02 /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html > > $ ls -l /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html > lrwxr-xr-x [] /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html -> /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html For this command, I receive: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 28 Dec 13 2004 /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html -> /sw/bin/texi2html.tetex-base > > Or again as follows: > > $ file /sw/bin/texi2html* > /sw/bin/texi2html: symbolic link to `/sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html' > /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html: perl script text executable Here, I receive: /sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html: perl script text executable > > $ file /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html > /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html: symbolic link to > `/sw/bin/texi2html.texi2html' For this command I receive: /sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html: broken symbolic link to `/sw/bin/texi2html.tetex-base' > > If you see anything else, then your texi2html is not correctly installed. Evidently, texi2html is incorrectly installed. I have attempted to remove, and then reinstall, numerous times in the last few days. Apparently, these attempts have also failed.

Did you look? I did indeed look, and it is not there. It was present when I first started my updates, however, the Finder could not find the original. It has not reappeared since the first un-install/re-install. _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
