I apologize if you feel offended, this was not my intention. What I tried to explain jokingly is that making a lot of software that comes from different sources work together is a highly non-trivial task, and Fink tries its best to help with this. It has been, in fact, invented just for this. So it provides the tools, but it needs a sufficiently clean environment to work. A basic package like gettext is particularly delicate to update, because it is used by very many programs, and if you make an error in the update procedure, you risk that a lot of your programs won't work any more. Even just moving your gettext-0.15 from /usr/local/ to /usr/local/gettext/ as Ben suggested may break many things, including Fink packages that you built while gettext-0.15 was installed in /usr/local/. Doing this right, and coping with the problems that arise from such an update, is as complicated as making a new version of a Fink package, where the latter has the advantage that you will know exactly what you have done. Concerning the configure error > checking for msgfmt... no you can perhaps find more information in the config.log file that sits beside the configure script that gave this message (somewhere in /sw/src/fink.build/poxml-*-*/poxml-*). In config.log, look for a line that looks like that error message and then see what comes after it. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
