The problems are: 1) mozilla doesn't work at all on Intel macs 2) your Fink setup hasn't been updated to reflect that fact--what you've shown above is a mozilla built from source on your machine, rather than downloaded from the binary distribution. The fact that your machine sees a version at all to build from source indicates that you aren't using the current package description. -and- 3) The non-working mozilla-1.7.5-1102 hasn't been pulled from the binary distribution for Intel machines. -- Alexander K.
