Hello Mark. There are several things to do: 1) Read the installation instructions for the package: they often mention some of the requirements.
2) Watch the output of "configure" as it runs: in many cases it will mention things it is checking for and there might be a corresponding fink package. 3) When everything is compiled, look for all the executables and libraries your package has created, and run "otool -L" on them. This tells you which libraries they link to, and in the case of /sw/lib/..., the library will be provided by a fink package.
