I would like to use mc (to start with) every fink package seems to need xfree and this is just the thing that will not install. Searched the faq, searched fink-beginners an this is the closest i get - no solution doh: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06783.html

But at the end i got the same X errors - and still no midnight commander! I don't get it but here it is... % fink install mc sudo /sw/bin/fink install mc Password: Reading package info...
