[Changing the subject to make it easier for other folks to find online, and because octave isn't really relevant to the issue--libmpc3 would have failed regardless of what you ultimately wanted.]

We generally encourage people to rename that directory temporarily while they build with Fink, because the compilers are hardcoded to look for stuff there. I'd check on that possibility first. Otherwise, check in /sw/src/fink.build/libmpc3-1.0.2-1/mpc-1.0.2/build/config.log at about line 554 to see what the test failure actually is. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
