AFAIK is Fink based on the Debian package manager dpkg. This means
that you can install Debian packages provided they are architecture
independent.
An architecture independent ocatve-forge package is available from the
Debian Website http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages/
(search for "octave-forge" in all distributions).
You should be able to install it as follows:
- downlaod the octave-forge*.deb file
- install it with "dpkg -i octave-forge*.deb"
- when it is installed, you can print a list of all installes files
with "dpkg -L ocatve-forge"
- if you want to get rid of it, you can uninstall it with
"dpkg -r octave-forge"
Hope this helps,
Christoph
