Re: [Fink-beginners] failed install xfree86 on Intel
Actually, I just found my compile problem documented on the FInk Wiki page, listed with an unknown cause and solution. Any ideas on how quickly this might be resolved or if anyone is currently working on it? http://wiki.opendarwin.org/index.php/Fink:Package_issues In the meantime, I suppose I will just install X11 from Apple and replace it later. romy On Apr 6, 2006, at 5:05 PM, Hisashi T Fujinaka wrote: On Thu, 6 Apr 2006, Romy Schneider wrote: I'm trying to install xfree86 on a new MacBook Pro.

So what you're saying is that the 0.24.15 bindist has ppc binaries, and trying to use fink on a stock 0.24.15 Intel installation gives you ppc binaries mixed in with the Intel binaries.
