Dear fink-devel,

I got the following message from a user who is running tetex on 10.3.
The setsid error message is very mysterious.  Does anybody have any
idea what could cause this?  Could it be related to the changes in
default permissions in 10.3?

(What's happening here is that xdvi calls /sw/bin/mktexpk which is a
script that causes new fonts to get built, and stored someplace -- maybe
in /sw/var someplace IIRC.)

-- Dave

Well the man page of setsid(2) says:

If an error occurs, setsid returns -1 and the global variable errno is
     set to indicate the error, as follows:

[EPERM] The calling process is already a process group leader, or
the process group ID of a process other than the calling
process matches the process ID of the calling process.


EPERM usually indicates a permission error and that seems to be indicated by the install process as well, Maybe it is possible to rund a strace of the execution path? Because I am not really grasping either what this is referring to

- -d
