This is because there's no binary release for pdflib--it looks like
there's a licensing issue preventing this.  You were right to try the
"fink install pdflib"

The problem here is that netcdf-absoft is still rated as unstable.  If
you have Absoft Fortran, and do in fact need this package, then you'll
need the unstable tree, as per:

You have to have the Developer Tools (December 2002) installed to use
"fink install", because "fink install" builds the package from source.
