I think I have mentioned on this list before that I haven't been able 
to build octave on mac os x.  I used fink to get the necessary 
libraries (readline, etc) but the build fails.  The fink version of 
Octave has too many numerical problems to be usable.

Up to now I've been able to manage by running my jobs on a linux 
machine but that situation will soon change.  I need to be able to run 
octave under os x.  Can anyone either

(a) tell me how to fix the problems with the fink version
(b) post a fixed fink package
(c) tell me how to get this to build

Any of these would work.

I'm getting a little desperate here.

Heber
