Martin, I am running OS X 10.4.6 on a G4 PowerBook. >From the terminal, I ran the command you suggested and attempted a rebuild of texi2html-1.64-16. Next, I tried a reinstall of autoconf2.5; it failed as before. Further, I tried a rebuild of autoconf2.5, which also failed. Alexander had me try installing the binary texi2html-1.64-14 from the terminal, which I did, but it did no good. I used update-all and brought texi2html to 1.64-16. These things were done before I followed your suggestion. The original problem still exists. _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
