OK, Here is the fink version that was installed this morning from the
Intel installer.
Caffeinator:~ jim$ fink --version
Package manager version: 0.24.17
Distribution version: 0.8.1
In Fink Commander, after enabling unstable, I saw only one grace, and
you're right, it was the stable version:
Data processing and 2-D visualization tool
Installed: None
Unstable: None
Stable: 5.1.18-1002
Binary: None
However, I figured out to do a fink selfupdate (apparently using
rsync and only hours after I dowloaded the original installer). I
have never understood whether the term update refers to updating the
fink software, the list of software that is available, or updating
software packages that you have installed. Anyway, this one updated
fink, it took a long long time, now fink version gives:
Caffeinator:~ jim$ fink --version
Package manager version: 0.27.1
Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync i386
Then I was able to install (I think a different?) grace and get it to
work!! My problems now are very minor:
a) to start grace (actually xmgrace, the gui version) I had to type
the path into xterm. And it can't find it's own documentation. What
file must one talk to to set the paths so these things are found?
b) fink commander doesn't indicate that grace is installed in the
list. Oh well, as long as it works . . .
Thank you very much for your help.

Grace is not installing. This happened the first time, and
Alexander Hansen got me through it somehow. I revisited the
beginner's list archive to find the message. It revolved around
some confusion about compilers. Grace is dependent on g77 I
think, and installs it itself, or tries to, but there apparently
is no g77 for Intel macs (which I have, OS 10.4.9). I tried
installing g77 separately myself through fink, but no go. The
earlier email mentioned g95, so I installed that, then tried
grace, still no go. Here is the error:

Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and
try again. If you continue to have issues, please check to see if
the
FAQ on fink's website solves the problem. If not, ask on the fink-
users
or fink-beginners mailing lists. As a last resort, you can try e-
mailing
the maintainer directly:
Jeffrey Whitaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>
Note that many fink package maintainers do not (yet) have access
to OS X on
Intel hardware, so you may have better luck on the mailing lists.
Could it be that there is something missing from X-code? I will
admit that I did not install it all, but skipped some parts that I
was pretty sure I wouldn't need. What is missing? Fink Commander
tells me that gcc4.0 and g95 are current, but not g77.
Thank you,
Jim Worrall

Nope. c++filt3 comes with gcc3.3, which doesn't exist for Intel Macs.
Fink is still trying to install g77, and therefore you seem to be
looking at the 10.4/stable grace. However, only the version in
10.4/unstable (which uses g95) is supposed to be visible on Intel
boxes.
It therefore seems that your version of the fink tool needs updating.
Please post the output of "fink --version" to confirm this.
