You're nowhere near installing gnuplot yet. What the _ultimate_ package is that you're trying to install is almost never important to a failure in an intervening dependency.
This problem has been discussed on our lists quite a few times. It's due to Apple deciding to remove some files from the X11 SDK. There are a couple of possible options on how to get around it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user/28146 Or, if you don't need X11 support, gnuplot-nox doesn't have issue in its build chain. -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
