Hi, I'm doing my first install with fink. Yesterday I installed Apple's X11 for Panther from the 3rd panther install disk.
I let my fink install (of Subversion) run overnight. This morning the following appears on the screen: > Selecting previously deselected package xfree86. > (Reading database ... 4423 files and directories currently installed.) > Unpacking xfree86 (from .../xfree86_4.3.99.901-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... > WARNING: if you compile X11 applications against this XFree86 release, > you will *not* be able to run them if you decide to revert to Apple's > X11 provided with Panther. > > 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. > > Press Return to continue. I wasn't able to parse it to understand EXACTLY what I should do, particularly, I don't know what is meant by "nstall system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools." I don't know what "resp." is an abbreviation for. I do want to keep the Panther X11 installation.
