Thanks Martin. I downloaded the 10.5.3 Combo updater, but it refused to install, perhaps because it is older than the current OS. So, I extracted sed from it. Diff reported that the file differed from my / usr/bin/sed, so I replaced mine with the one from 10.5.3. Now texmacs builds with Apple's sed. -- Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
