This number, and... > WARNING: While resolving dependency "tetex-base" for package "gnuplot-3.7.1-4", >package "tetex-base" was not found. this speaks of an old or incomplete version of fink. When did you update your fink distribution last time? > Failed: Can't resolve dependency "tetex-base" for package "gnuplot-3.7.1-4" (no >matching packages/versions found) Again, something seems to wrong with your fink installation. Even an old one should have a tetex-base package description. > So I did the following: > dfl% sudo apt-get install tetex-macosx > Reading Package Lists... Done > Building Dependency Tree...

Maybe your fink version is old, too? What does fink --version say? > command ranlib not found. I noticed also that make doesn't work either :-? [] If you want to compile things yourself using "fink install", you need the Developer Tools. For the binary distribution obtained through apt-get you shouldn't need them. In fact, the newer version *-8 of system-tetex was created to avoid the use of ranlib and this the requirement of Dev Tools installed.

Update first and see of most of your problems won't go away. -- Martin _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.
