There’s a github repository for it:

1) I created a script called “fixpath.sh” in /sw/etc/profile.d with contents:

#!/bin/sh -ev
export PATH=`/Users/finkakh/bin/pathformat.pl`

. The name isn’t important, because fink’s environment initialization (init.sh or init.csh) sources everything in that directory.

2) I set the Terminal item in the X11 Applications menu to be “xterm -ls”, i.e. ‘login shell’, so that init.sh and profile.d/ get processed. (The default on Xquartz is now to start with whatever the user’s PATH setting is, and older X11 releases just ignored it–this gives consistent results for both cases)

Sorry about that.

I’ve added a new variant to the package which builds against a reference (unoptimized) LAPACK and BLAS [known as lapack341(-shlibs)] and passes all of its internal tests. This is called control-ref-oct36(0|1|2).
