Hi Daniel and Chia,
This was indeed the problem. I had the Developer Tools installed, but they were vintage April. Apparently, the upgrade to Jaguar broke them. That was why gcc did not work. So, I updated the Developer Tools to the July, and then August versions. After that, I was able to run "fink self-update" with no problem. Having successfully completed "fink self-update," I returned to my main goal, which was getting latex2html working. There have been sporadic posts on this list since February comiserating about the difficulty of doing this. From these, I gathered that one needs to run "fink install system-tetex," followed by "fink install latex2html." I did this, and I am pleased to report that latex2html works without a hitch. I notice that other posters are wary of conflicts between Jaguar and Fink. Apparently, I am the fool who rushed in where angels fear to tread. So far, I haven't noticed a problem, but will let you know if/when I encounter one. Thank you very much for your help!
