I seem to have the key xfree86 packages installed but they do not work and as you see below, I don't have the 'X' in my path (/usr/X11R6/bin/X). Does this mean that the install is faulty? Do I need to install any of the others?

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).
If you *just* installed xfree86-base or xfree86-base-threaded, that
would be your problem.
