[OS X TeX] Fink

[Aaron Jackson]

I have found, for the programs I use, that fink is not necessary, as they 
compile out of the box.  I don't use Octave, but gnuplot just required a:

./configue
make
sudo make install

Plus some of the fink packages are a bit old...

Quoting "Dr.John R.Vokey" <vokey at uleth.ca>:

> bother, but I would like things fink-wise to be otherwise.
