selfupdate error

[tome at QX.Net]

Thanks!  I do not know why things are the way they are, but a 'which make' revealed '/opt/local/bin/make', which points to gmake in the same 
location.  There was nothing in /usr/bin, so I created a link to '/opt/local/bin/make', and selfupdate ran fine.  There are too many moving parts to this 
computer stuff, but sadly, all of them seem to be mine!
Best regards,
Tom

Does "make" exist in /usr/bin? Do you have Xcode installed? If you don't, install Xcode 2.5. If you do, reinstall Xcode 2.5 :) making sure not to deselect 
the command-line development option.
