--enable-shared --disable-static are certainly holdovers from octave  
2.1.x. I still have them amongst my configure arguments...

I'll delete these before my next build.

I agree this might be an issue. This is a redundant set of libraries.  
Octave seems to be picking up the vecLib framework correctly. Why are  
you also using Fink's ATLAS? Apple's vecLib is all you need (they are  
very close relatives). ATLAS is non portable, i.e. processor  
specific, while vecLib will  work with all supported CPUs.
