Re: OS X 10.1.3, Fink Distribution version: 0.3.2a & Package manager 
version: 0.9.7

All,

        I'm having a difficult time getting a clean and fully functioning 
install of XFree86.  I downloaded and installed fink without any 
noticeable issues.  I think install xfree86 via:

fink install xfree86-rootless

        That install too completed without any noticeable issues.  However, 
when I try to run XDarwin.app and choose rootless, no window manager 
appears to be running.  If I do a psg on the command line, I see that twm 
is running as in:

root    1196   0.0  0.0        0      0 con- Z      0:00.00  (twm)

        But, the default xterms & xclock come up without any window title bars 
or the like.  I've spoken to others who have Xfree86 installed, and they 
said it just worked.

        In any event, I thought I might install another window manager, so I 
started with the windowmaker package

fink install windowmaker

        This fails with the following error:

./configure --prefix=/sw --enable-shared --enable-static

        I don't know why I'm getting a no acceptable cc found in path.  
Obviously, there was an acceptable cc found when compiling & installing 
XFree86.  What the heck changed?  here's my $PATH var:

./:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/
bin:/bin:/Users/paulrs:/Library/OpenBase/bin:/usr/local/samba/bin:/Users/paulrs/
Developer/bin:/Users/paulrs/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin

            ~
/usr/bin/cc
29-toscani% cc --version                                                  
            ~
2.95.2

        If I try to install just libjpeg, I run into similar complaints:

checking for ld used by GCC... no
configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH

31-toscani% which ld                                                      
            ~
/usr/bin/ld

        Anyone have any clue what I am doing wrong?  I tried installing a few 
of the other window managers and ran into the same compile errors.

Regards,
Paul
