Bryan,

Try installing EMBOSS through the fink system (fink.sf.net). After 
installing fink, just type 'fink install emboss'. This will take care 
of downloading, compiling, and installing all necessary packages. Note 
that from a fresh fink EMBOSS 2.6.0 will be installed. Version 2.7.1 is 
available, but only as a so-called 'unstable' package. See the fink 
docs how to enable the unstable packages. After that, again type 'fink 
install emboss'.

Good luck,


- Koen.
