Re: gnuplot and emacs in latest fink on MacOS 10.15.4

solved  by a  hack:

Since  fink does not currently build emacs in 10.15.4 with Xcode 11.3.1
(even after the term-readline fix that allowed some users report building it
in 10.15.x, x < 4  :  see my post on fink-users), I supplied emacs to “fink install gnuplot” by 
installing Emacs.app from emacsformacosx.com <http://emacsformacosx.com/> and creating a link

 /opt/sw/bin/emacs -> Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs

This allowed "fink install gnuplot" to  create the texinfo file and successfully build.

Putting the link in /usr/local/bin did not work with fink.
