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.Huh? Installing fink doesn't break XDarwin, even if the latter is installed from some other source. Just install the fink "system-xfree86" package. It doesn't contain any files, it only tells fink that you have xfree86 installed.
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.This is a so far unexplained error that some people have been seeing. In any known case so far, reinstallation of xfree86-base-shlibs solved the problem.
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.
But not correctly, so it seems. Reinstall it.
>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
Since the library's name is libXmuu, not libXmmu, this is not surprising.
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.Since this is quite obviously not the case, there must be something specific wrong with the file you downloaded. Could you look at the xfree86-base-shlibs-*.deb file on your harddisk that you downloaded and tell what its file size is, and look at its contents via "dpkg -c xfree86-base-shlibs-*.deb"?
