In this case the failure was due to missing build dependencies. So if you do "fink list fontconfig1-shlibs x11-dev" you get the following? p fontconfig1-shlibs [virtual package] p x11-dev [virtual package] If you don't have the "p" in front then they'll still show up as virtual packages known to dpkg, but their providers aren't installed properly. In that case try running fink-virtual-pkgs --debug to see what's missing. -- Alexander K.
