Start by doing a 'fink selfupdate-cvs'. Your package manager is not current. This can affect how things build. Once that's done try doing the 'fink install' again.
Your twm problem is because there was an incompatibility between twm and xfree86-4.1 (at least under OSX). I believe this has been fixed in 4.2, but that's not listed as a stable package yet for fink (it seems OK, though). Check out http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable for more information. On 3/12/02 18:42, "Paul R.
