You would instead modify the package description file (e.g. /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/graphics/paraview.info) to include that option in the cmake line of the CompileScript. If you do that, I recommend:
1) Make copies of the .info and .patch files in e.g. /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo 2) Make sure that local/main is in the Trees line of /sw/etc/fink.conf 3) Edit the .info file in the local tree and boost the revision (you can even make it 1001.1 or something similar) > In this particular case, I think it might eventually be desirable to > have both a paraview and a paraview-mpi in the packages list (like is > the case eg for gromacs).
