It wasn't installed by fink, and it's the same location, but it didn't 
work. So I tried the opposite, installing libxml2 via fink; I also added 
/sw/share/pkgconfig to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, but that could well be 
irrelevant.

With that I could make and make install.

On to section 7:
libpangoft2 ...dylib was picked up ok, no need for manual intervention;
emptied gtk.immodules manually;
left gdk-pixbuf.loaders unchanged, but I don't understand the ../lib 
part I guess -- from the location of the file wouldn't lib be ../../lib?;
same for pango.modules;

Ok, now I got to the testing stage running ./gretl with fink disabled; I 
get:

1) A system dialog window saying in German "gnuplot was closed 
unexpectedly".
The report (SIGTRAP) says:
"Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: 
/sw/Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Versions/A/AquaTerm //
Referenced from: .<....>/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot //
Reason: image not found"

2) gretl's main window, (in German! -- this was different with my prior 
builds BTW)

3) an error window saying in English/literally "An error occurred while 
loading or saving configuration information for Das Ökonometrie-Paket 
von GNOME 2.0. Some of your configuration settings may not work 
properly. -Details- OK-".
Details say: "Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute 
child process "/sw/lib/gconf2/gconfd-2" (No such file or directory) 
<several times>

4) on the terminal/stderr: a host of error messsages, for example "Error 
reading gretldir", ..., reading gnuplot, .... etc.

But I can estimate a regression!

Before proceeding with the disk image, I'll wait for more input from you 
with respect to those errors.

cheers,
