I see those errors and exactly that behavior when I rebuild the entire package (fink install aterm). But when I try install the binary with apt-get (apt-get install aterm) it doesn't report any errors at all. Probably the issues with apt-get install have to do with the build process continuing after the compilation failed. Walt
