I had a problem with my installation of fink because I have not installed X11SDK. I followed the instructions to get round this and deleted Fink, reinstalled X11 and added in X11SDK

I have just reinstalled fink and FinkCommander and am attempting to add emacs-21 to which I get the following:

---------------------------------- START-------------------------------------
Information about 1550 packages read in 1 seconds.


fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:


(1) xfree86-base-threaded: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(2) xfree86-base: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(3) xfree86: XFree86 distribution


Pick one: [1]
------------------------------------ END--------------------------------------


This is what I was trying to avoid. Once I choose one of the bellow if I get it wrong a whole new version of X11 is compiled.

This is the output from xfree search:

------------------------------------ START----------------------------------
system-xfree86 2:4.3-1 [placeholder for user installed x11]
xfree86 4.3.0-14 XFree86 distribution
xfree86-base 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-base-shlibs 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-base-threaded 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs 4.2.1.1-16XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-rootless 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-rootless-shlibs 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-rootless-threaded 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-rootless-threaded-shlibs 4.2.1.1-16 XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
xfree86-shlibs 4.3.0-14 XFree86 distribution
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----


Only the placeholder is installed.

How do I get Fink to recognise the Apple X11 that is already installed?
