If you are using fink-0.16.2, then you need to install the X11 SDK from the XCode CD to make Fink recognize Apple's X11.

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86-base again.

I received the above message. Can someone give me a pointer as to what this is? I have just upgraded to Panther and then installed fink and fink commander. I then tried to add emacs-21 and this failed with the above message Gary ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
