Installer Can't Find TeTex

[Tristan Chase]

Hi. I am currently trying to install GnuCash on Mac OS X (10.2) via the  
fink method. I have done the following:

fink selfupdate; fink list

After this I have done

fink install gnucash

After several hours the install aborted and gave me a message saying  
that it could not find teTeX and that I can install it manually, which  
I then did.

After I installed teTex (which works from OS X, not X11) I repeated the  
process. I got this message after several more hours:

dpkg -i  
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/system- 
tetex_20010808-12_darwin-powerpc.deb
(Reading database ... 14848 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking system-tetex (from  
.../system-tetex_20010808-12_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...

It looks like you may have teTeX installed .. will check for some files  
..

You don't a valid teTeX installation; you were missing
  /usr/local/teTeX/lib/libkpathsea.a  
/usr/local/teTeX/include/kpathsea/tex-file.h

Install the tetex-texmf and tetex-base packages instead,
or install teTeX manually from
http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html
and then retry installing the system-tetex package.

dpkg: error processing  
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/system- 
tetex_20010808-12_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
  subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
   
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/system- 
tetex_20010808-12_darwin-powerpc.deb
### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package system-tetex-20010808-12

My question is, if I have teTex installed manually how does the  
installer find it? I am fairly new to Unix/Linux but I am quick to  
grasp the general concepts. I do understand that the installer is  
looking for a placeholder (system-tetex_20010808-12_darwin-powerpc.deb)  
in the directory  
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/. What should I  
do?
