The "Getting X11 Sorted Out" section definitely does need to be updated. -- Alexander Hansen Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX

Thanks very much--sorry I hadn't spent more time with the FAQ, but I didn't even know where to look because I didn't realize that I was trying to "do a binary update."
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!
