Well, it appears I need a more real fix: when I re-ran `fink install octave`, somewhere along the line it loaded a new /sw/src/fink.build/qt3-3.3.8-2002/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/configure which undid my patch.
So exactly how do I prevent qt's configure file from asking me to confirm my acceptance of the GPL license? - Rob Salient context: Package manager version: 0.35.1 Distribution version: selfupdate-cvs Tue Sep 10 20:37:45 2013, 10.8, x86_64 Trees: local/main stable/main Xcode.app: 4.6.3 Xcode command-line tools: 4.6.0.0.1.1362189000 Max.

Also try using "fink configure" to set your maximum build jobs to 1 and attempt to build the package again. If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the FAQ on Fink's website solves the problem. If not, ask on one (not both, please) of these mailing lists: The Fink Users List <fink-us...@lists.sourceforge.net> The Fink Beginners List <fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net>, with a carbon copy to the maintainer: Benjamin Reed <q...@fink.raccoonfink.com> Note that this is preferable to emailing just the maintainer directly, since most fink package maintainers do not have access to all possible hardware and software configurations. Please try to include the complete error message in your report. This generally consists of a compiler line starting with e.g. "gcc" or "g++" followed by the actual error output from the compiler.
