Wow! Thanks for the fast reply. Ok, I understand about 1) and 3) now. I saw a race condition in the build. As for 2), I ran "fink install libftgl2" and "fink install libftgl2-shlib", but both fail. When I run "fink show-deps libftgl2", it lists something unusual for autoconf. When I run "fink install libftgl2", the dependent build package list includes both "autoconf autoconf2.6" (when I had just removed them). I ran tests by aborting "fink install octave36..." at the Y/n prompt, and the dependent package list had both autoconf and autoconf2.6.
