Hi,

I am the lead developer of the project relax
(http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/relax-py27,
http://www.nmr-relax.com) and am having a problem installing the
xmgrace software (http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/grace).
The Xmgrace graphing software is used by relax to display certain
results.  The installation of relax pulled in gcc-4.6, as relax
requires wxPython, which requires wxGTK, etc.  The problem is that
xmgrace depends on fftw-shlibs which in turn depend on gcc-4.4!  So
this is an indirect dependency clash.  There is no need to install
gcc-4.4 on the system to compile fftw-shlibs when gcc-4.6 is present.
But installing gcc-4.4 removes openmpi-dev which is required by mpi4py
which itself is a relax dependency.  Why does fink not detect this and
use the perfectly working gcc-4.6?  Why does the fftw-shlibs info file
(http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/fftw.info?view=markup)
say that gcc44 is a dependency and not just specify a generic gcc
version?

Cheers,

Edward
