I tried that. It built a bunch more stuff, but now dies in Gnuplot, suggesting that I might have a problem with something in /usr/local (when there is no longer a /usr/local). Messages were: Determining fink providers of 14 headers... 1 - 14 Found use of headers from 4 fink packages: aquaterm-dev gd2-nox lua51-dev pdflib6 Scanning binaries for incorrect dyld linking... ./src/gnuplot uses /usr/local/lib/libgd.2.dylib There are files installed in /usr/local on your computer that are known to interfere with building some Fink packages. Try temporarily renaming or moving /usr/local while Fink is compiling a package. See http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php#usr-local-libs for more information. For the record, before renaming /usr/local I had: $ ls /usr/local bin etc include juniper lib man share texlive $ ls /usr/local/lib ImageMagick-6.4.1 libgsl.la gtk-2.0 libgslcblas.0.dylib libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib libgslcblas.a libaquaterm.1.0.1.dylib libgslcblas.dylib libaquaterm.1.1.0.dylib libgslcblas.la libaquaterm.dylib libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib libgailutil.18.dylib libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib libgailutil.dylib libgtk-x11-2.0.la libgailutil.la libjpeg.a libgdk-x11-2.0.0.dylib libtiff.3.dylib libgdk-x11-2.0.dylib libtiff.a libgdk-x11-2.0.la libtiff.dylib libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib libtiff.la libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.dylib libtiffxx.3.dylib libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la libtiffxx.a libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.0.dylib libtiffxx.dylib libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.dylib libtiffxx.la libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.la libusb-0.1.4.dylib libgsl.0.dylib old-libusb-0.1.4.dylib libgsl.a pkgconfig libgsl.dylib Interestingly, there doesn't seem to have ever been a file called "/usr/local/lib/libgd.2.dylib". But, assuming that /usr/local contamination really is my problem, is there perhaps a way to force fink to compile everything from scratch?
