I now have somewhat of a solution. I have compiled mozilla-1.0.0-1 on
my laptop (Titanium 500) with no problems, and then moved my *.deb file
up to my workstation (Dual G4 1000), installed it, and it works fine.
Very strange.
For others out there with the same problem, you can download the *.deb
file from:
http://adm.wustl.edu/tmp/mozilla_1.0.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
Put it in:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc
And do a fink install mozilla (assuming you are using CVS) and it should
unpack and build fine.
I have no idea why this is the case, however...
