[]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:
/sw/bin/texi2dvi: tex: command not found[]
Failed: compiling octave-forge-2003.06.02-1 failed[]
This looks like a bug in the octave-forge package. It either has to depend on tetex-base, requiring you to install this big package, or (preferable) to disable the use of texi2dvi.
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.
Renaming things in /usr/bin is never a good idea. In this case, it doesn't make a difference, because texi2dvi in all of its incarnations uses the tex program which you don't have installed.
You should inform the maintainer of octave-forge ("fink info octave-forge") about this problem. I think he will have to fix the package.
