Not particularly relevant, if your error is always with autoconf vs. autoconf2.6 (and the real issue could well be with different versions of auotmake). Since autoconf*, automake*, and libgettext*-dev are only needed at build time, by going through smaller subsets of the build tree (even to the point of single packages), it should be possible eventually to build karbon*. > > UPDATE: I've mostly given up trying to install karbon.

No, the reason is that the KDE maintainer hasn't had time for Fink for a while, and the learning curve is brutal for anybody else who has tried taking it on. The problem is with getting stuff actually to _compile and run_, not with the listed dependencies. I went ahead and installed karbon in Lubuntu under > VirtualBox, and it works just fine in there.
