Don't know, but I'll try. I was actually referring to installing the binary distribution using dselect. Sorry I didn't mention that.
And I can't get that to work. I am just running around, trying to resolve conflicts and dependencies.

I've been trying to get (te)TeX installed for a while now. I don't need it for word processing, but as supportive technology for a number of applications, e.g., natbib. Not any combination of install using fink gives me any results.
What happens when you say "fink install natbib"? It should install automatically enough of the tex and supporting packages to work. A little more complete tetex installation is obtained by "fink install tetex-macosx", and an even more complete installation by "fink install bundle-tetex". There will be a lot of other supporting packages that are installed automatically.

Is there somebody out there that can point me to such a page for TeX functionality? Or, if there is not such a page, tell me the procedure for succes step-by-step?
"I've got to ask you," I say. "How long do you envision this rule of the universe to be?"
"I'm guessing it's really very short."
"Like how long?"
"I don't know. In Mathematica, for example, perhaps three, four lines of code."
"Four lines of code?"
"[...] it will be short if Mathematica was a well-designed language. It will be longer if it doesn't happen to be as well-designed, in the sense that that doesn't happen to be the way the universe works. But we're not looking at 25,000 lines of code or something. We're looking at a handful of lines of code."
