I think I'm now up and running, but somehow the process seemed unnecessarily painful--all that time wasted trying to understand dselect (finally gave up on it), and searching for an explanation of what to do if I already have Apple's X11 installed (but not the SDK!). Then for a while I was mistakenly using fink instead of apt-get, not understanding that this would install from source. Someone oughta rework the User's Guide to address these issues a little more directly, IMO.
But I shouldn't be whining. It's a miracle that it works at all; many thanks to those who have made it work!

Now what do I do?
Also, the link from the fink web site to the archives of this list (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=fink-beginners) seems to be broken, so I wasn't able to check the archives before sending this to the list.
<AKH> news.gmane.org is a nice way to search the archives:
