It says "xmkmf: command not found", which certainly explains the
problem. It is a bit surprising that xmkmf is not there, but I don't
know whether that's a a general problem with X on Snow Leopard or not.
I did have to reinstall X at least once because the first time it
(apparently) silently failed to install everything. Unfortunately, I
don't have the media to hand to try again today. I think it is
entirely reasonable to view this as a problem with the platform and
not a problem with Poly/ML.
It seems that xmkmf has been dropped from Snow Leopard. See
http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:xmkmf . This mentions
autoconf as one of the problem areas and says:
The "autoconf" ones are probably easy to fix (autoconf-2.62 has a
fallback detection...
I built the configure script on Debian stable (lenny) which uses
autoconf-2.61 . I'll try updating one of my machines to "testing"
(squeeze) which includes autoconf 2.64 and see if that produces a
configure script that works.
I've now installed an updated version of the configure script built with
autoconf 2.64. Could you test it to see if this detects X-windows
correctly? I've also installed an official version of config.guess
rather than my patched version. This ought to detect 64-bit on Snow
Leopard. Can you let me know if that works as well?
Regards,
David
