Did you try "startx -- -quartz" or "startx -- -fullscreen"?
If you're trying to start X Window on Mac OS 10.x rather than "pure" Darwin, just saying "startx" isn't appropriate to start X server on XDarwin. Pure Darwin is different from Mac OS X. For more details, check out "man XDarwin" and related pages on Fink web site. For example:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere. I have spent about 16 hours so far trying to get fink to install, and have spent hours reading the documentation and searching the archives and am still stuck. With the last release of fink I had the same problems, but just gave up and used "rm -rf /sw" and downloaded X packages from other sources. I'd like to give it a another try with OSX 10.2.
Basically in the current and past two versions of Fink I've been unable to get X to work. I normally run with XDarwin, but since installing fink breaks XDarwin, I removed it and following the directions to uninstall system-xfree86 and install the fink version.
The current error with startx is:
[Busephalus:~] czei% startx
dyld: xinit can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
A previous post gave the following hints:
>1) Do you have xfree86-base-shlibs installed? If not, then install it.
[Busephalus:~] czei% fink list xfree86-base-shlibs
Information about 89 packages read in 1 seconds.
i xfree86-base-sh 4.2.1.1-3 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and...
So, the package is installed.
>2) If you do have it installed, verify that the file is included in it: dpkg -L xfree86-base-shlibs
[Busephalus:~] czei% dpkg -L xfree86-base-shlibs | grep mmu
So, the file isn't included in the package. I tried downloading the binary again, and it appears that the built binary in the fink system doesn't include this file. This implies that no one should be able to get X working.

I couldn't find this package anywhere. There's an xfree86-rootless-shlibs package, but not xfree86-rootless-threaded-shlibs.
Any hints on where to go from here? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
