I removed plplot which is depending on qhull, the qhull and octave-forge installed with the following configuration: octave-forge is configured with octave: octave (version 2.1.53) mkoctfile: mkoctfile for Octave 53 X11 support: yes makeinfo: makeinfo --no-split texi2dvi: texi2dvi --clean texi2html: texi2html -split_chapter -number mkdoc: /sw/src/octave-forge-2004.02.12-1/octave-forge-2004.02.12/admin/mkdoc mktexi: /sw/src/octave-forge-2004.02.12-1/octave-forge-2004.02.12/admin/mktexi dvips: dvips dvipdf: dvipdf audio capture: linux/soundcard.h not found geometry toolbox: Qhull not found --- see main/geometry/README read/write image formats: jpeg, png have term.h or termcap.h: yes symbolic toolbox: GiNaC not found --- see main/symbolic/INSTALL > There are 3 solutions to fix this permanently: > > 1.

The problem with 3 (I found in other situations) is that if plplot is installed (which is why I had qhull), fink is unable to solve the dependency and it has to be resolved manually as I did today. This not very difficult, except the error messages are quite cryptic the first time you get it. So I do agree with your ranking, but 3 should be the very last resort. Thanks for your prompt answer.
