1) We would need more details: type gp -f in a terminal, then

  bnfinit(x^2+1)

What happens ?

2) 2.3.5 is a very old version, why not upgrade to version 2.5.0 ? See
[ I have no idea whether this is available under Fink, but you can
always download it from http://pari.math.u-bordeaux1.fr/download.html
then compile it yourself ]
