Hi All,
I am trying to install GTK+2 in preparation for installing Gimp 2.0 and can't get past this X11-Xfree86 conflict. I ran Martins script that I assume creates links so that X11 can do Xfree86 business but I am still failing.
No, no. The fink-x11-debug script does not *do* anything. It only tries to display enough information about your system so that it becomes clear where the problem is and what to do about it.
I am assuming my attempt at the script worked. I pasted the script into BBEdit and saved the file as ":fink-x11-debug" and ran "perl fink-x11-debug" from root. It paused a moment then returned the prompt
This means it did not run. Otherwise it would have written several dozen lines of output to your screen. Maybe you saved it with Mac line endings instead of Unix line endings? The easiest way to get it saved correctly would have been not to click on the link so that it shows up in the browser, but to Ctrl-click and then choose "save as" (or Alt-click) and save it to the disk directly.

The following 6 additional packages will be installed: gtk+2-shlibs pango1-xft2 pango1-xft2-dev pango1-xft2-shlibs xfree86 xfree86-shlibs Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
This is the wrong answer. As explained in the FAQ #9.11, there are basically two reasons why Fink wants to install xfree86 when you have Apple's X11 installed: Either your installation of X11 is incomplete or you have some Fink xfree86 things installed. In both cases, the fink-x11-debus script gives additional information about the situation.
