Hello,
I managed to compile the Recode package (fink install recode),
the problem is that it is not functional.

When used with a 'mac' argument it displays this:

[nuts:~/test] fred% recode mac..l1 testfile.txt
recode: testfile.txt failed: Invalid input in step `macintosh..ISO-8859-1'

Way worse, some arguments start a conversion that does not
stop and a temp file grows indefinitely until it fills the
entire hard drive:

[nuts:~/test] fred% recode l1..l9 testfile.txt
^C
[nuts:~/test] fred% ls -l
total 8224
-rw-r--r--  1 fred  staff  4198400 Oct  3 21:22 rec13483.tmp
-rw-r--r--  1 fred  staff       11 Oct  3 15:57 testfile.txt

Ctrl+C after 4 seconds, notice the 4 MB temp file created.

I've installed Fink on MacOS X 10.2.1 after the 0.4.1 announce,
either the cvs was not updated, either Fink does not report a
correct version number.

Here is my configuration.

[nuts:~] fred% fink -V
Package manager version: 0.10.0.cvs
Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs

[nuts:~] fred% cc -v
