Hi, I had the same problem some time ago. There's a bug in the April Dev Tools that breaks XDarwin.app's creation. Remove the 'rogue' XDarwin.App from /Applications and use dselect to install the binary distribution (which is at version parity with the source) and you'll get the XDariwin.app Icon back

I tried this (I moved the files to the desktop rather than delete them... don't want to irreversibly mangle my account if one of those files is essential, you know), restarted, and XDarwin{.app} is still a folder. Trying to start from Terminal, I get the following: % startx -- -quartz 2002-06-11 14:21:44.401 XDarwin[457] No Info.plist file in application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Which sounds to me like the Info.plist file (which tells OS X to treat a folder is an application bundle, as I recall) somehow isn't getting built. Any ideas? Here's what fink tells me about my installation: % fink list "xfree86*" Information about 1239 packages read in 6 seconds. i xfree86-base 4.2.0-6 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and d... i xfree86-rootles 4.2.0-2 MacOS X/Darwin XFree86 display server. _______________________________________________________________ Multimillion Dollar Computer Inventory Live Webcast Auctions Thru Aug. 2002 - http://www.cowanalexander.com/calendar _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners _______________________________________________________________ Multimillion Dollar Computer Inventory Live Webcast Auctions Thru Aug. 2002 - http://www.cowanalexander.com/calendar _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
