[Dvipng] Support Request: Trying to install dvipng on Mac OS X 10.6 - cannot find/use libkpathsea

[Michael A. Balazs]

Hello,

I am trying to install dvipng on my new mac and get the following error when
running ./configure:

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for gs... gs
checking whether gs has the pngalpha device... yes
checking for pow in -lm... yes
checking for deflate in -lz... yes
checking for png_read_image in -lpng... yes
checking for gdImageCreate in -lgd... yes
checking for kpse_set_program_name in -lkpathsea... no
configure: error: cannot find/use libkpathsea

I have installed libkpathsea using fink and it can be found here

ls /sw/lib/libkpathsea.*
/sw/lib/libkpathsea.4.0.0.dylib /sw/lib/libkpathsea.4.dylib
/sw/lib/libkpathsea.a /sw/lib/libkpathsea.dylib /sw/lib/
libkpathsea.la

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
