Thanks again, Alexander, transfig-graphicx installed just fine with apt-get. Onward and upward with Octave...I hope. Do you have a preference for one version over another?

[Fink-beginners] Installing Octave, failed dependencies with Transfig-graphicx
Continuing the attempt to install Octave 3.8.2-10. I seem to have found the right "system-java" from Apple's website, thanks to the tip from Ben Abbott. The compile of octave-atlas-qtx11 now fails at the attempt to install transfig-graphicx 3.2.5d-1014, with inconsistent dependencies. It is suggested to "fink scanpackages", "sudo apt-get update", and "sudo apt-get install transfig-graphicx 3.2.5d-1014", but this returns with "E: Version '3.2.5d-1014' for 'transig-graphicx' was not found". If I try to do a "fink install transfig-graphicx ", I get "could not resolve inconsistent dependencies". I am running OS 10.10.5, with fink 0.40.0. Any ideas? Should I be trying to install a different version of Octave, like octave-atlas-x11-qtx11, or maybe just octave-atlas, or something else from fink? By the way, I seem to have xfig installed, which I thought required transfig-graphicx, so I am puzzled by how it could be working without transfig. -- The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
