this is what you should have done initially.
I did this before I wrote to the list; that's why I already said that
The suggestion to update fink didn't help.
Updating Fink through CVS did not help. I had done a CVS update a few times, just because I like the experimental things in life. After reading the FAQ, I did one more for good measure. No benefit.

Right now I'm mud wrestling with Fink and X11 after a recent (legal) installation of Panther. Up until now Panther and the beta of X11 have worked in harmony.
When I wanted to install Pan (the X11 newsreader), Fink claimed there was already a free86 node. The suggestion to update fink didn't help. Fink also noted my free86 version was old and fractured, and suggested I reinstall. When I tried...it wouldn't let me. Apprently it didn't like my copy of X11. I figured I'd reinstall X11 then.
But I can't install X11 because the installer claims I have 'newer software' on my HD already. So I trashed everything I could find with the phrase 'X11' in it. The installer STILL says the same thing. I trash fink on top of that and start over.
I try to install free86 fresh. Fink now complains I don't have a valid
C compiler. What, did some files disappear while I wasn't looking? I've
always had gcc. So I try to get a new gcc version using the cvs
command...but Terminal doesn't recognise 'cvs' either. What's going on?
It might be best to help me with the last paragraph and move backwards.
:)
Thanks.
