At one point I had rationalized to myself why they did this, but now I can't really for the general case. Anyway, kde-admin seems to use "first automake in PATH", which picks /usr/bin because there is no automake1.x BuildDepends. Given it was found, kde-admin sanely tries to use it and assumes it will behave as it should if it came from apple (and fink is pretty clear about the expection of apple stuff being as-distributed-by-apple). One quick solution (I think) would be to add a BDep to make sure there *is* a fink automake available. A more solid solution would have kde-admin be adjusted to use fink's autotools explicitly (which forces maintainers to add BDep) rather than relying on shaky PATH searching. dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
