You can check the config.log file in the directory where you did
'./configure' to see exactly what test program was run and exactly how
it failed. That might give a clue as to what's wrong.
Given that there is already a fink package for some nearby version of
this thing, that package description is probably an excellent starting
point. For 10.3/gramps-1.0.3, that would be:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/database/gramps.info
and the gramps.patch in that same location. Use that as a guide while
watching what happens when fink builds the package. There may be some
patches and/or env vars and/or configure flags needed to customize for
OS X and/or fink's library locations.
One approach would be to modify that .info file (or a copy of it; make
sure it has the extension ".info"). Start by assuming 1.0.4 will go
exactly like 1.0.3, then make changes to fix whatever new issues
arise.
Have you contacted the package maintainer? Maybe he's already working
on the new version. Or if not and you get it done, he could put yours
in fink.
