Hi Stuart,
this is a known problem with Mac OSX 10.3. If you call 'man readlink' in
Terminal.app then you can read the documentation of the readlink program, but
actually it is not included in Mac OSX 10.3 - it was forgotten. This also was
reported here
https://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2007-September/005920.html
If you read the last email of this thread from Marius Schamschula then you'll
find a link at the Huntsville Macintosh Users Group site with a backport of the
stat package (which includes the readlink program) or you use this direct link
and read the Readme.html file about how to set it up on your Mac
http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/BSD/Administration/System/stat/
Hope this helps for you,
Thomas
