Fink's latest gnuplot version is 4.2.5-2, so it's possible that  
whatever error you're experiencing with 4.0.0-1005 has already been  
fixed. Your package manager version is 0.27.13 and your distribution  
version is 0.9.0, which means you're using a more than one year old  
set of packages.

If you don't mind building packages from source, may I recommend you  
upgrading your Fink installation to a more recent version? You'll need  
to follow the steps described at

Re: Problem installing sbcl

That's odd. As far as I can tell Martin Costabel's instructions should  
have made dpkg forget about sbcl altogether.

Could you possibly post your /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status file to some Web  
or FTP server so that we are able to get it? If that's not possible,  
send it to my e-mail address (do not send it to the fink-devel mailing  
list) after having compressed it to .zip or .gz.

I can now confirm all the bad things recently said about sbcl on Snow 
Leopard. This package is really badly broken. Unfortunately the error 
messages it produces were not sufficient to make me see the origin of 
the errors. I am CCing the maintainer.

On 10.6/64bit, the build does not complete. The error message is:

I don't know where the sh script starts that is reportedly failing. The 
code before the error message looks like a very long list of lisp 
selftests to me.

There is something weird going on: I have two build logs from yesterday 
on 10.6/64bit that end with failure, with the error message I mentioned. 
Now I tried it one more time, and the building and installation went 
through without error. Nothing has changed in the meantime, except that 
I switched a couple of times between 32bit and 64bit.

Another weird observation:

Now I am trying "fink rebuild sbcl" on 10.6/32bit, where the previous 
build worked and only the installation of the resulting *.deb file did 
not go through (several times repeated).

It does not build any more: I am now getting the same build error as 
previously on 10.6/64bit:

> WARNING! Some of the contrib modules did not build successfully or pass
> their self-tests. Failed contribs:"
>   sb-posix

This thing does not seem to build deterministically.

I just committed an updated SBCL (version 1.0.34) to my experimental repository:

  http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/experimental/jessealama/

Can you please give this a try?  I didn't do anything new apart from bumping the version, but perhaps this will
make a difference.  I don't expect it will, but it's worth a shot.

The result is the same as I got with the previuous version:

On 10.6/32bit: Builds but doesn't install

On 10.6/64bit: It now builds and installs OK, but so did the previous 
version last time I tried. I am not yet trusting it.

I have now found where this chokes: It happens when dpkg tries to 
install the file

/sw/share/doc/sbcl/html/sbcl/Method-sb_002dbsd_002dsockets_003asocket_002dmake_002dstream-_0028_0028socket-socket_0029-_0026key-input-output-_0028element_002dtype-_0027character_0029-_0028buffering-full_0029-_0028external_002dformat-default_0029-timeout_0029.html

If I remove this file in sbcl's InstallScript, then sbcl (1.0.33 and 
1.0.34) installs OK on 10.6/32bit (at least sometimes, at other times it 
produces the sb-posix module build failure I have seen also on 
10.6/64bit occasionally).

This looks like dpkg is not able to handle files with a file name longer 
than 256 characters. On the other hand, I don't understand why this bug 
only shows up on 10.6/32bit and not on 10.6/64bit nor on 10.5/32bit.

Also doesn't seem to choke on 10.4/ppc. Wonder if there is some static
