The TeX i-Package installs separately i386 and ppc binaries, but th 
ekpathsea library it installs should be fat. This is not important for 
running TeX, but it is if you want to link the TeX kpathsea (TeX file 
search) library into other programs.

As far as I can see, the builds on my system contain fat libkpathsea.a 
libraries. Just to be 100% certain, I recreated the 2005 binaries 
archive in the TeX i-Package and uploaded, as the content has 
officially not changed, I'll not update the release notes. Can you 
reinstall TeX and when you are done test the following command in 
Terminal:

	file /usr/local/teTeX/lib/libkpathsea.a

Thanks,
