You may want to do a "fink reinstall gnuplot", because _it_ actually installs stuff under texmf-local, whereas tetex-base does not:
$ dlocate /sw/share/texmf-local gnuplot: /sw/share/texmf-local gnuplot: /sw/share/texmf-local/tex gnuplot: /sw/share/texmf-local/tex/latex gnuplot: /sw/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/gnuplot gnuplot: /sw/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/gnuplot/gnuplot.cfg tetex-base: /sw/share/texmf-local dpkg is supposed to handle dealing with empty directories properly, so I wonder if somehow your build created /sw/share/texmf-local as a file rather than a directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
