This package is indeed expecting that you are running MacOSX 10.3 or 10.4. This is a bug. In this ancient form it should not be available for building on 10.5. From the error you are getting, I assume you are on 10.5? > It just occurred to me that I may try putting a symbolic link to the > fink automake in /usr/share Do you think it will work? Even if it "works", this will be a very bad idea which may have unexpected consequences for later compilations. You should *never* ever make changes in system directories such as /usr/share. This is the kind of manipulation that leads to errors no one is able to debug. In fact, if Fink's automake1.6 is installed, the package does not need these weird symlinks that don't work on Leopard. I am changing this and putting gnewspost-1.6-100 on CVS that fixes this. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
