Hello, all!

I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on a MacBook Pro w/ old 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo.

Installed Fink - fine.

Installed Fink Commander - fine.

Tried to install gnuplot. It spent about 2 hours giving incomprehensible (to 
me) messages, & in the end said:
..."Unpacking libxslt-bin (from .../libxslt-bin_1.1.24-1_darwin-i386.deb) ...

Setting up libxslt (1.1.24-1) ...
Reading buildlock packages...
Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies!

Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to
fix things by running:

  fink scanpackages
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libgettext3-dev=0.14.5-2

Updating the list of locally available binary packages.
Scanning dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-i386

dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-i386/base/expat1-shlibs_2.0.1-1_darwin-i386.deb

...

"New package:

New package:

Failed: Fink::SysState: Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies"

So I took its advice (see above), but no go:

"don-pakeys-computer-4:~ donpakey$ fink scanpackages

(The "which gnuplot" would have shown me gnuplot, if it had in fact been 
installed, right?)

Any advice? Couldn't find anything in the FAQ.

Thanks a lot!
