You must install the X11SDK which is on the Xcode disk which came with Panther. It is not installed by default. After that you can check that fink recognises your X11 install by running ' fink-virtual-pkgs' which should give you beside others:
Package: system-xfree86
Status: install ok installed
Version: 2:4.3-1
provides: xserver, x11, libgl, xft2, fontconfig1, rman, xfree86-base-threaded
description: [placeholder for user installed x11]
Package: system-xfree86-dev Status: install ok installed Version: 2:4.3-1 provides: x11-dev, libgl-dev, xft2-dev, fontconfig1-dev description: [placeholder for user installed x11 development tools] builddependsonly: true
Package: system-xfree86-shlibs
Status: install ok installed
Version: 2:4.3-1
provides: x11-shlibs, libgl-shlibs, xft1-shlibs, xft2-shlibs, fontconfig1-shlibs, xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs

Hi everyone:
I am new to the list. New to Apple and Fink also. I recently purchased an Apple Power Mac Dual G5 2GHz with Panther 10.3.3 installed. I installed Fink and tried to install a test program Lilypond. Everything went well until the end when I got the following message:
"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. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree resp. system-xtools instead to make this know to Fink's package system."
Initially I want to use the pre-installed version of X11 so I elected to install system-xfree and system-xtools. Fink however indicated that the package system-xfree is unavailable.
How do I proceed from this point. Any comments or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John Dey
