Hello, I've tried to,install several package such as grace or xfig using Fink but an error occured each time telling me:
You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.
The problem is that fink does not find the packages system-xfree86 and system-xtools when I type "fink install ...". those packages do not appear also when I type "fink list".
Is there an alternative or bigger list with addiationnal packages ?
thanks Matt
You don't want to install system-xtools, and system-xfree86 is now a virtual package. I'll assume you're running Panther and have Apple's X11 installed, since you didn't say otherwise:
