| fink won't see xfree86 properly I followed the instructions from macosxhints.com on installing Xfree86 and fink found here. Things went mostly smoothly, but I can't tell fink about my Xfree86 install (I installed in manually). When I type: fink install system-xfree86 I get this: Reading package info... Information about 227 packages read. dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system-xfree86_4.1-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (Reading database ... 4208 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking system-xfree86 (from .../system-xfree86_4.1-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Your XFree86 installation is incomplete. The following files are missing: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h You may have an old version without shared libraries. That is not sufficient to run downloaded binary packages. Please install XFree86 4.1.0 or later manually or consider installing the xfree86-base package. dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system-xfree86_4.1-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system-xfree86_4.1-2_darwin-powerpc.deb ### dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package system-xfree86-4.1-2 What does this mean? It messes up fink if I try to install something (the only thing I tried was Window Maker). Everything's in the default directory I think, I don't know what the problem is.

| funny... I just deleted my whole fink installation because it was getting on my nerves ![]() What I did to install xf86 though was this fink install xfree86-base and fink install xfree86-server I could not install rootless or afterstep. After 2 full weekends of CLIing and downloading and playing around with .info and .patch files I got frustrated and deleted the damn thing ![]() Admiral
