a problem that use fink to install gnuplot It will fail when met libmpfr1. My solution is follow http://www.opensource-archive.org/archive/index.php/t-36845.html, that is "fink rebuild gmp gmp-shlibs" first, and then "fink install libmpfr1". finally, go back continue "fink install gnuplot".
Record the steps of porting ethereal 0.99 on 10.4.11 It's much easy to use fink to install ethereal. but when getting the error message like "_gdk_threads_add_idle referenced from libgtk-x11-2 expected to be defined in libgdk-x11-2", the solution is remove gtk+2-dev first, written in http://www.finkproject.org/faq/comp-packages.php?phpLang=en
