I'm sure its just a setting or preference.

I followed this advice and it worked well. The only problem I run into now is that I can't install BINARIES via FinkCommander. My only choice is to install packages from source. Why did that option change? Is there anyway to get it back? Seems like installing binaries is much easier to mess with than the source code eh?
Thanks,

I did solve it by completely removing everything and then reinstalling.
This was not a perfect solution but it worked for me. I had not installed anything yet with fink so this was the easiest sollution for me. Following are the steps I took:
1. Remover all Fink and X11 stuff: sudo rm -rf /sw sudo rm -rf /etc/X11 sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6
2. Remove any Library Reciepts:
rm /Library/Receipt/x11*-files
rm ~/Library/Receipt/x11*-files
NOTE: This is because install program seems to leave the receipts behind and so install thinks components are still there.
3. any lines added for fink from your .*rc files in your home directory
Such as the standard "source /sw/bin/init.csh".
4. Install X11 and X11 SDK
Do a complete install of Panther Install Disc 3 (X11)
and the "X11SDK" from the Xcode Tools CD (and Xcode Tolls CD if you didn't before)
5. Install newest fink (there's a binary now so you don't have to compile if you don't want)
6. Check the installation with 'fink-virtual-pkgs' you should have an entry:
Package: system-xfree86
Status: install ok installed
Version: 2:4.3-1
provides: x11, x11-shlibs, libgl, libgl-shlibs, xft2, xft1-shlibs, xft2-shlibs, rman, fontconfig1, fontconfig1-shlibs, xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs, xfree86-base-threaded
description: [placeholder for user installed x11]
Like I said it was drastic but it worked.

Hi,
I came across your post on Apple's x11-users mailing list archive. I had the same problem when I tried installing xfig with FinkCommander (I also installed panther and then fink and finkcommander). I've come across a couple web pages w/ advice on getting fink running under Panther, but still have trouble. I sent an e-mail to Fink's beginners mailing list and was told that my problem is likely due to the version of xfree86-shlibs (listed as "outdated" in FinkCommander). I forcibly removed it and then reinstalled X11 and X11sdk from the Panther disks, but am still having the same trouble. Anyway, I was just hoping that you were able to get it running.
