I'll bet you are using one of the binary install methods: apt-get or dselect or the binary option in FinkCommander. One of the components of tex (the tetex-texmf package) is not available in binary form, for licensing reasons, so you have to install it from source. For this, you need the Apple Developer Tools installed. If they are present, then issuing the command "fink install tetex-texmf" will install the missing piece. After that, you should be able to install tetex-base using your binary install method. Alternatively, you could install tex outside of Fink, and use Fink's system-tetex package to make Fink aware of the external tex installation. (The reason system-tetex won't install is that you don't have the external tex package installed.) You can get the external tex package at http://www.rna.nl/tex.html . -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
