I read the instructions about installing Fink. It seems to behave itself until I ask it to build XFig (for example), then it always asks which xfree package I should install.
As far as I know, there is a valid Apple X11 installation (xfree 4.3) and I have installed the developer tools which appeared in the Applications/Installers folder. This includes X11SDK. Since it's new, I never had system-xfree86 installed (I have read the faq, you see :) The only think I changed in the fink setup was to add the unstable branches to /sw/etc/fink.conf, because debian unstable has always been a fairly happy experience, and I like life on the (b)leading edge.
fink selfupdate succeeds, as does fink update-all and fink index. It is just the X11 which isn't being detected properly.
Has this been observed before? Maybe the Apple X11 should be removed and the fink one installed?
Thanks for help in advance. I am getting bored of rebooting the machine and waiting for long builds to complete now :(
