Hello,
First off, let me say how much I enjoy the packages available through
fink and what a great resource it is for people transitioning from
Linux to OS X. I find many great tools in fink. Thank you!
I am installing grace via fink right now, and I noticed that it is
compiling g95 to satisfy a dependency. I thought this was unusual,
as I already have gfortran (4.2) installed on this system, also via
fink. Having both those compilers installed seems to be wasteful of
time and disk space. Perhaps g95 was a requirement for compiling
some other grace dependency when gfortran was not mature enough to be
trusted? I am accustomed to using Fedora or Ubuntu with grace and
the latest gfortran, which works fine for all standard F77/F95 these
days.

Anyway, is there a chance this dependency could be changed, or
avoided if gfortran is already on a system? I am just a user, not a
fink package maintainer or anything, but thought I would ask.
Sincerely,
Brian
At one time, I believe gfortran and g95 built things slightly
differently, so they weren't drop-in replacements for one another--e.g.
there was a shared library from gfortran that got linked into packages.
This may not be the case now.
We _don't_ support builds that differ depending on what's installed on a
system, but it's possible that the dependency could be changed. If you
like, you can change it locally on your system and try it out. Drop me
a line off-list if you're interested, and if it works you can give that
piece of data to the maintainer.
