In general: 1) When you are using fink, you should start with:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php#compile-myself 2) Get the source tarball and uncompress it. 3) Try to build it: usually the package has a configuration script (e.g. called configure) that you run first, and then you can run 'make', which compiles the package without installing all the files on your system. There will possibly be additional flags you need to add during your configuration process, and you'll see what's missing when you run "configure": you'll get messages like Checking for <library>: No even when you have the library, and so you'll have to add that library as a flag to the configure script (this is usually documented in the script itself).
