Perhaps I'm still missing something, because my results with "fink" are:
leonards-imac:~ leonardwilliams$ fink install ghostscript Password: Information about 312 packages read in 1 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'ghostscript'! leonards-imac:~ leonardwilliams$ fink install gv Information about 312 packages read in 0 seconds. Failed: no package found for specification 'gv'! leonards-imac:~ leonardwilliams$ But both these packages are listed at fink! Do I need to specify a package group (such as "text")?
