My fink is upto date. But Martin is correct. I was using apt-get to install the binary distrib.
I was able to easily find and install the binary fftw package and grace works now. But, as Martin says "In an ideal world", it would be nice if there is a dependency list that I can look up to see which packages I need. The quickness of the binary install makes it very attractive as compared to having to compile it locally.
