Hi I also posted over in Kindle Troubleshooting. I hope this is okay, but my problem is with mobi2mobi installation. I'm on a mac running 10.6.1 and I've had trouble with installation of a couple of components. First, two things I notice and what I did about them:
1. In the jpeg lib install, the instructions say:
Now to make the library itself.
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
(use 10.4 if you have Tiger.)
So, I did:
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6
I have since redone it with ..._TARGET=10.5, but nothing has changed.
2. The other thing I noticed and failed to remember last night was that /usr/share/libtool/ no longer contains config.sub. Rather, there it is in /usr/share/libtool/config/ ...I used the latter, rather than moving config.sub into the higher directory. I wonder if that causes a pointer problem?
The error message that I get when I try to run ./mobi2mobi bookname.azw (which I do inside of the ~/eBook/tools/ directory that I made according to the instructions as the links somehow did not take in the sequential ln -s commands. I put bookname.azw into ~/eBook/tools/) is:
[chipg5s-Computer-2...\ tools]$ ./mobi2mobi Parallel\ Worlds\ A\ Journey\ Throug-asin_B000GCFCL4-type_EBOK-v_0.azw

And, indeed when I go back and look at the transcript from the first install attempt (I did it a second time and I have that transcript below) is:

Notice: Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary.
**UNRECOVERABLE ERROR**
Could not find gdlib-config in the search path. Please install libgd 2.0.28 or higher.
If you want to try to compile anyway, please rerun this script with the option --ignore_missing_gd.
Warning: No success on command[/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL]

Failed during this command:

Obvously, that's an issue. I redid the ..._TARGET=10.5 and went back to the GD install and got:
[chipg5s-Computer-2...\ gd-2.0.35]$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)

again, obviously a problem.
Any ideas?
thanks.
