Greetings all,
I just installed XDarwin's nicely packaged distribution of XFree86 4.2.0, without having had a previous installation of X. This is seeming to cause me some problems with Fink because I didn't install X through Fink. As far as I can tell, Fink's package system doesn't recognize that X is installed. Anyhow, I was using dselect to install GNOME and Enlightenment (and their recommended associated packages). Once I had [S]elected the packages I wanted, I chose [I]nstall, which ran fine, until I encountered these errors: You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86-base again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools instead to make this known to Fink's package system. dpkg: error processing /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/xfree86-base_4.1.0-8_darwin-powerpc.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 I _DO_ want to keep my existing X11 installation, since it's XFree86 4.2.0 and has rootless XDarwin configured. So what does dselect's script mean when it says "install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools?" Thank you for any help, Noah _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
