That's right. And extutils-parsexs-pm actually modifies your PATH so that its own xsubpp gets used: $ printenv PATH /sw/lib/perl5/ExtUtils:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/Users/hansen/bin $ which xsubpp /sw/lib/perl5/ExtUtils/xsubpp (you'll want to open a new terminal window or other login shell session to guarantee that this change takes effect) -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
