I need to post a matrix for these, but here’s a summary.  The Octave-3.8.2 
package in Fink has the following options.

octave[BLAS/LAPACK implementation][FLTK graphics toolkit][Qt GUI options]

The BLAS/LAPACK implementations are:

(nothing):      Use Apple’s Accelerate framework. My understanding is that some 
problems with this have been fixed as of 10.10.

-ref:           Use an unoptimized BLAS/LAPACK.  The author of the Octave Forge 
control package found that this option worked better for that package.

-atlas: Use ATLAS.

The FLTK toolkit options are:

(nothing):      Use native FLTK graphics.

-x11:   Use X11-based FLTK graphics.

The Qt GUI options are:

(nothing):              No Qt GUI

-qtmac:         Build the GUI to use native Qt graphics.

-qtx11:         Build the GUI to use X11 Qt graphics.


So, for example, if you want to use ATLAS and have a native GUI and native 
FLTK, you’d use:

fink install octave-atlas-qtmac odepkg-atlas-oct382
