Ok,

I tried again, installing without fink and configuring with the 
--without-x flag.
This time make finishes without errors,
(but with this warning over and over:
ld: warning prebinding disabled because dependent library: 
/usr/local/lib/libnucleus.0.dylib is not prebound)
but still the first test in the tutorial fails

%wossname ->no such file or directory
so
%find / -name "wossname*" -print
finds only
/usr/local/share/EMBOSS/acd/wossname.acd
and in the install directory:
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/doc/programs/html/wossname.html
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/doc/programs/text/wossname.txt
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss/.deps/wossname.Po
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss/.libs/wossname
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss/acd/wossname.acd
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss/wossname
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss/wossname.c
/Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss/wossname.o

in /usr/local/share/EMBOSS there is only
acd             data            plstnd5.fnt     plxtnd5.fnt

cd-ing to /Users/robin/Desktop/EMBOSS-2.10.0/emboss finds all the 
executables and
%./wossname
starts up the program, but finds no programs to list.
Trying another program, pepstat, on a test file works fine.

So, now I have a bunch of sequence analysis programs that at least seem 
to work, but are in the wrong place.
I suppose wossname is looking for them in /usr/local/share/EMBOSS.

back to the drawing boards...
