I would start with
fink selfupdate
fink updateall
Here are my versions:
$ fink -V
Package manager version: 0.11.1
Distribution version: 0.5.0a.cvs
jwJag /Users/jwiggins/fink-0.11.0
$
Also, if you have setup your environment accorting to the install instructions,
you should be able a "man fink" and get help.
Documentation on installation and setup may be found from
http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/index.php
If you want to run X Window manager on Jaguar, keep at it. I've tried the fink approach only a couple of months ago, on a fresh system I was upgrading to OS 10.2, and was very pleasantly surprised to find it the best way to get up and running with all the UNIX tools/applications I want to use. I do a backup of my whole disk structures before doing fink updates, but have been lucky enough to have no problems...

So, what must I do to install it again, after my first install from fink. RickOn Sunday, January 5, 2003, at 05:51 PM, John Wiggins wrote:Rick,
It looks like you may have not installed all you need, nor have a complete fink database.
I use XDarwin, and X11, both installed by fink, and mine works perfectly.
Here is what I see. Hope this helps:
