After successfully installing octave-2.1.46 (from fink binary) and
ghostscript6 (via fink install), I'm trying to install octave-forge via
"fink install octave-forge." The Makefile goes OK for a while, then I get
the following error exit:

Symbolic linking rsdec.oct
Symbolic linking bchenco.oct
Symbolic linking bchdeco.oct

Making info comms.info

fflush error on stdout
/sw/bin/texi2dvi: tex: command not found
/sw/bin/texi2dvi: tex exited with bad status, quitting.
/sw/bin/texi2dvi: see comms.log for errors.

make: *** [main/] Error 2
### execution of make failed, exit code 2
Failed: compiling octave-forge-2003.06.02-1 failed
[pcp05455179pcs:~] joekoski%

I saw this error before when I tried to install octave-forge into /usr/local
via a makefile from octave-forge, and the solution then was to remove the
documentation target from the document Makefile. Is it my version of
texi2dvi(from the GNU site)?

[pcp05455179pcs:/usr/bin] joekoski% where texi2dvi
/usr/local/bin/texi2dvi
[pcp05455179pcs:/usr/bin] joekoski% texi2dvi -v
texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.6) 1.23

What do I need to do to get this install to work. Install another texinfo?
Use the old one? I've renamed the old texi2dvi in /usr/bin.

My previous attempts to install octave-2.1.50 and octave-forge into
/usr/local failed to achieve a working combination (the shared libraries
didn't work), so I removed all those files, and am now attempting to install
octave and octave-forge into /sw via fink. Any help will be appreciated.
