I plan to build using a script that closely follows the Fink info file, and check that the cs-list problem is absent. Once that works, I'll modify the octave343.info file and build and install with that. At that point, I'll be able to try to install a package. My builds are slow (> 1hr) and can only try in my spare time. I expect my progress will be slow.
