His reply reached me before yours. I was in the act of responding to him when your reply came to me. So I finished his reply before starting on yours. I hope that clears it up.
We have a large package of image processing routines that are packaged together We use gnuplot for our standard plotting package. We recently bundled together the package for working under solaris, linux-x64, MacOSX (powerPC and Intel-x64). It all runs under the X-environment. On the mac we chose to work under fink for the X dependencies since the Mac X environment does not have motif or Tex. This actually, has worked well for years because we always used the fink gnuplot. Since we don't use fink for solaris and linux-x64, we build gnuplot externally. To work right under the Mac I execute our configure and make using the gnome terminal. This makes building easy. I've been using this procedure nicely under PowerPC for months. Recently, we needed to build under the Intel version. Thus, I discovered the differences in the texmf subdirectories. Our build master thought that the fink differences should be checked out. The person doing our configure and makes have been shaking out problems, but I volunteered to get the intel version up and running. What I discovered is what I have been reporting here. Perhaps unfortunately, I updated my Intel fink's tex packages because they were showing up under FinkCommander as being outdated before this run. The gnuplot that we are using is downloaded from the gnuplot home page. We were hoping that if the fink maintainer was modifying the fink version of gnuplot he might point out why there are differences and what he does to fix them.
