I just installed fink on a fairly pristine new installation of Panther with Developer Tools by downloading the binary.

Then I tried to install the grace package using "sudo apt-get install grace".

It kept telling me that it needed things that, apparently, Apple's implementation of X11 doesn't provide, so I chose to download xfree86 and xfree86-shlibs along with the other stuff that grace needed to install. Of course, it wouldn't install xfree86 over the default Apple version, so I followed the instructions at the FAQ to uninstall the Apple X11 package before re-trying the installation of xfree86. That seemed to work, and xfree86 (and grace) were installed.

When I type "startx" in the Terminal I get:

/usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 49: syntax error near unexpected token `'''
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line 49: ` XCOMM '' required to prevent cpp from treating "/*" as a C comment.'


which I'm guessing is not supposed to happen.

Running XDarwin quits immediately.

And when I run grace from the Terminal I get:

dyld: grace can't open library: /sw/lib/libpdf.2.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap


Any insight greatly appreciated....

TIA,
Todd
