Thomas, I have make the modifications you suggested and they worked. Also, in your message you said:

If only these #ifdef's could be replaced by a proper autoconf > check... I don not know anything about autoconf (yes, yes, shame on me), and maybe I am saying something really really silly but, cannot the PATH variable be checked? If it exists and has the : char as separator, then you can assume unix for kpathsea. Regards, Alberto Molina
