hi,
At one point in the past I successfully used fink to install lilypond 1.6.7-2.
Now, in an attempt to make all fink packages current, I have tried using fink selfupdate-cvs and fink update-all which gives me trouble compiling lilypond 1.6.10-2.
excerpts and details just prior to crash...

touch ./out/dummy.dep
mf "\mode:=laserjet; nonstopmode; input feta11.mf;"
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.7x)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt mf.base
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the base file `mf.base'!
gnumake[1]: *** [out/feta11.tfm] Error 1
gnumake: *** [all] Error 2
### execution of ulimit failed, exit code 2
Failed: compiling lilypond-1.6.10-2 failed
I also tried subsequently to use the Fink Commander which gleaned the following:
--
Package manager version: 0.13.6
Distribution version: 0.5.3.cvs
Mac OS X version: 10.2.6
July 2002 Developer Tools or later
gcc version: 3.1
Unable to determine make version

So, there seems to be something wrong related to METAFONT, fmtutil.cnf, or mf.base, I guess??? Any thoughts or hints on a remedy appreciated,
thanks,
Avram
fmtutil.cnf is supposed to be installed by tetex-base. Try reinstalling that.
