Hi guys. I'm at a conference this week, using my few available Fink moments
for finishing up the 0.5.1 distribution. I'm sure that in a day or two I'll
be able to read this thread and comment in detail about the libtool prob

dmalloc has proposed the following revised legal statement. He says that he

I personally do not think that a number of the clauses in the revised
statement are appropriate for Fink. Any other opinions?

Looks like I need more quotation marks in the MATHPATH setting in

like instead, it read the MANPATH which was valid at the moment you
compiled the package.

On the ranlab issue, this came up in one of my packages as well, and my
solution was to test for the presence of ranlib before invoking it.
The idea is, any user without the Developer Tools installed won't be
linking against this library anyway, so it is harmless that ranlib was
not run for them.
