Hi.  When I installed octave the first time, I used fink ('fink install 
octave' and let fink do its thing) without setting any of those flags 
(noted above).  Did I mess up?  I also use gnuplot vice aquaterm.  I 
don't believe I've had any problems, but, then, I'm not a heavy octave 
user.

Cheers.
