Xemacs/reftex problem

I use Xemacs (built with fink) on OS X 10.2.1 to edit latex files, and
much of my life depends on it.... Recently, I got a new machine with
10.2.1 installed on it, and re-installed fink, and from there Xfree86
and xemacs (following the website directions). While xemacs built and
runs fine, it crashes when reftex attempts to make a label (for
instance, when making a new \section, but also just making a label by
itself).
I'll be happy to provide further details on request, but I'd like to
know if I'm the only one with this problem before wasting bandwidth.
Inquiries on the fink mailing list have made clear that some people
have problems building the latest version of xemacs, but no data yet on
this particular problem. Since reftex doesn't seem to have changed much
lately, it may well be an xemacs problem.

/etc/manpath.config is appened by teTeX that add the line
MANPATH /usr/local/tetex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current =
/usr/local/tetex/man
after that I suppose running manpath as says "man manpath" should
append to the environtment variable the corresponding mapping
(between files in the (i dont understant why son funny named)
/usr/local/tetex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current (that must be also
in the $path, as is) and the /usr/local/tetex/man directory
but this not works at least in my 10.2.1
man latex does not works and you need to put
man -M /usr/local/tetex/man latex to see the corresponding man's
Why so funny names?
Why do not follow the starndards and name the bins
/usr/local/tetex/bin/
Why that not works?
Tx.

Has anyone gotten lgrind to compile on OSX (10.2)? If not, what is
another alternative package for pretty printing source listings in
documents (LaTeX variant).
Thanks,
Joe
