ghemical hasn't been updated since July 2010.  If you are using rsync
selfupdating, then after you turn on  unstable with "fink configure"
then you have to run "fink selfupdate" again to download the unstable
tree package descriptions.  By contrast, when you use CVS updating it
downloads everything.

Fink isn't your Linux distribution.

Our apt-get only handles binaries, and we only made binaries for
packages in the stable tree for up to OS 10.5.  (You never posted what
your OS version was.)

That's a fine choice, but that doesn't indicate anything.  Did ghemical
build?

How about running the following commands in a terminal window so that we
can better understand what is going on here:

fink -V | head -n3
which fink
type -a ghemical
