libftgl2-shlibs and libftgl2 are built in the same operation.

When I run "fink show-deps libftgl2", it lists something

libftgl2 requires "autoconf", as well as "automake1.11", which itself
requires "autoconf2.6" to build instead of "autoconf".  Try "fink build
automake1.11" and then see if you're able to do "fink install
bundle-octave363-atlas".
