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:

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 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.
