If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp.

Unfortunately, I could not find any "system-xfree86 resp.
system-xtools" or even anything close to it.

This is impossible. system-xfree86 has been in every fink distribution that ever existed.

Then Fink insisted (or so it seemed to me) that I remove the X11 that
was part of the IRAF package at Rice Univ. last November when I
installed it.

And you did remove it? You shouldn't have.

Then Fink or I installed something like xfree86-base, etc.

This is impossible, too. If you didn't remove your X11, fink will *not* have installed xfree86-base.

You are not telling the whole story.

Any help gratefully received,

From what you are telling, it is hard to know what you actually did and in what condition your system is now. What does "fink list -i xfree" give?
