That's exactly what I got:
TCNJ-97-131:~ depasqua$ sh xmkmf imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config imake: No such file or directory imake: No description file. Stop. TCNJ-97-131:~ depasqua$
OK, first guess wrong.
I'm not totally familiar with how X11 coexists with fink, etc. However, in reading some of the messages from earlier installation attempts, I was prompted to remove the X11 libraries. I moved (renamed) the Apple delivered X11 libraries, and then continued my installation. A new library directory was added. Might this be a cause?
Probably. What exactly do you have installed now? Could you download the little script http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/fink-x11-debug and run it as "perl fink-x11-debug"?
It's rather distressing to think that I can't get tetex running on my mac, and that perhaps I should just punt back to my Apple installed X11 software and use xterm from a Linux box to do my latex work.
It is, of course, completely unacceptable. I would never use a Mac if I couldn't run tetex on it. I am sure if you fix your X11 installation, you will have no problem installing tetex. BTW, you could also install it from the binary distribution. The new bindist has the tetex-2.0.2-34 packages.
