Dear Alex, so the most information I get is what I am copying next. It only mentions circular dependencies. I am transcribing the entire output I get after asking to install gtk+2-dev. Here is goes:
fink install gtk+2-dev Password: Information about 6991 packages read in 0 seconds. fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) octave-atlas: Matlab-like language for computations (2) octave: Matlab-like language for computations Pick one: [1] fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) gnuplot: Command-driven interactive plotting program (2) gnuplot-nox: Command-driven interactive plotting program Pick one: [1] The following package will be installed or updated: gtk+2-dev The following 56 additional packages will be installed: doxygen gail18 gail18-dev gail18-shlibs gconf2 gconf2-dev gconf2-shlibs gnome-keyring gnome-keyring-dev gnome-keyring-shlibs gnome-vfs2-unified gnome-vfs2-unified-dev gnome-vfs2-unified-shlibs gnuplot graphviz graphviz-shlibs gst-plugins-base-0.10 gst-plugins-base-0.10-dev gst-plugins-base-0.10-shlibs gtk+2 gtk+2-shlibs gtkglext1 gtkglext1-shlibs libbonoboui2 libbonoboui2-dev libbonoboui2-shlibs libdatrie libdatrie-shlibs libglade2 libglade2-shlibs libgnome2 libgnome2-dev libgnome2-shlibs libgnomecanvas2 libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomecanvas2-shlibs libgnomeprint2.2-dev libgnomeprint2.2-shlibs libgnomeprintui2.2-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-shlibs libgnomeui2-dev libgnomeui2-shlibs libgsf1.114-dev libgsf1.114-shlibs librsvg2 librsvg2-shlibs libthai libthai-dev libthai-shlibs octave-atlas pango1-xft2-ft219 pango1-xft2-ft219-dev pango1-xft2-ft219-shlibs swig wxgtk2.8 wxgtk2.8-shlibs Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Failed: Problem resolving dependencies. Check for circular dependencies. That is the end of the output.
