Here is the entire install process

I'm not sure what I should be looking for in the log, so here it is.

[peanut:~] jeffreyc% fink-virtual-pkgs | grep system-xfree86
Package: system-xfree86
Package: system-xfree86-shlibs

[peanut:~] jeffreyc% fink list system-xfree86
Information about 2749 packages read in 5 seconds.
 i   system-xfree86   2:4.3-2      [placeholder for user installed x11]
 i   system-xfree...  2:4.3-2      [placeholder for user installed x11
share...


Do I need to change something in the config so fink can find
system-xfree-dev?
