The main difference is that "aqua-intel-fink" is compiled on your machine while "aqua-intel-native" is compiled on Andreas' machine and then installed as a compiled binary by you. More technical differences are: 1. "aqua-intel-fink" installs the required external libraries and utilities like qt3/mac, ghostscript, lcms, libpng, freetype, fontconfig etc. automatically under control of a package manager inside Fink's controlled directory "/sw", whereas "aqua-intel-native" requires you to download those manually and install them in the default directories such as /Library/Frameworks and /usr/local/bin. 2. Since Andreas Vox is a Scribus developer and the Fink package maintainer is only a packager, it is possible that Andreas' version "aqua-intel-native" will have more bug fixes than the Fink version which is compiled directly from the released sources with only very minimal patches. -- Martin
