Hi Jeff,

Well, following the excellent advice of both Remi and Alexander, I installed the SDK packages (more than once), reinstalled X11 itself, etc., but fink list x11 still doesn't list x11-dev.


Also, in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/ there is the file Xlib.h

My only thought is that since the installation was haphazard, maybe a full wipe of all X11 and Xcode/Developer, then reinstall, but that seems a bit drastic.

Indeed, and I'd like to understand why fink doesn't recognize it. This kind of problem shows up much too often IMO. I attach a small perl script which does more or less the same thing as fink when creating the virtual package. (The full code can be found at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/VirtPackage.pm). Could you please run the following commands and send us the output?

$ fink -V

$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h

$ perl -v

$ which perl

$ perl x11dev.pl

Where the last command uses the following file

Attachment: x11dev.pl
Description: Binary data



Cheers,
                Remi
