The install command is similar, to wit:
> sudo fink install pkgconfig automake autoconf libpng libjpeg
but

Note that while the Development tools cover most of the basic < requirements you may need to upgrade automake to version 1.9. It is < recommended that you use fink to do this. You can download and install < fink from here: http://fink.sourceforge.net.
<In FinkCommander use "Update Descriptions" from the Binary menu to get details of the latest packages from the online database.
<Then find "automake1.9" in the FinkCommander list, select it and use < Binary/Install to get the latest version. That will bring with it other < packages upon which automake1.9 depends.
