Thanks for the advice--but I'm afraid it doesn't apply in this case, since I've been using the Mac OS X Developer Tools from day one of their availability with the Public Beta, and I've been using XFree86 with Fink for quite some time, having installed, among other things, Gimp, abiword, g77, etc., etc. with it. I'm currently running OroborOSX with XFree86 4.2.0 and XDarwin. Fink has been behaving consistently until today, which perhaps not coincidentally follows immediately upon the release of version 0.9.9. The problem arises when makeinfo turns up missing. Everything else is there. And just for the record, when I use Apple's cc, my programs compile with no trouble at all.
