I've both enabled the unstable distribution and run the Fink selfupdate, and I can now see the package I need when I execute the 'list' command. Thanks to both of you who responded.

P.S. No, I haven't run /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh, which is why I'm having to change to the directory where Fink is located in order to run it.

As an additional note, I'm guessing that the problem I'm having is due to the fact that I'm not running the latest version of Fink, but http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php?phpLang=en indicates that version 0.7.2 should be used for OSX 10.3.x. If the package that I need is not available via Fink 0.7.2, am I out of luck? Or am I incorrectly diagnosing the problem altogether?

Thanks,

You've got it right. Issue "fink selfupdate-rsync" so that fink sees the package you are looking for.

Also, is there a reason you are running fink with "./fink"? I'm wondering if you have run the /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh script....
