Many thanks. I tried the various options you suggested and this gave me the following:When you say you installed xfree86 from dselect, which package exactly did you install? If it was one of Fink's xfree86-* packages, be warned that to run local X programs, you need *both* the base and rootless packages. IE, if you were installing the threaded X package, you would install xfree86-rootless-threaded (along with xfree86-base-threaded, and their shared libs), otherwise you would install xfree86-rootless (along with xfree86-base).
[Julian-Woodss-Computer:~] jfwoods% printenv PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ X11R6/bin
[Julian-Woodss-Computer:~] jfwoods% startx -- -rootless
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "/usr/X11R6/bin/X" in PATH
If you *just* installed xfree86-base or xfree86-base-threaded, that would be your problem.
