Hello fink users I am a beginning fink user and I have been trying to install xfree86 on my g3 powerbook w/ os X 10.2.
I have been having several problems... If i do fink install xfee86 XDarwin dies immediately... If i try to run xterm at a terminal window, instead of getting a cannot open display warning I get a cannot find a certain library warning (cannot remember what library currently)... so after that did not work I started over and I have been able to install xfee86-base & xfree86-rootless (or the threaded versions) and I can start up XDarwin select rootless or not and it starts up whatever window manager is there and it works... but then i go to do fink install windowmaker or.. fink install vim and it says i need to install xfee86 and xfree86-shlibs... So if i go to the package list on the fink website and look at the xfee86 package there is a warning there to not do fink install xfee86 if you allready have xfee86-base (which i do). It says there to install the update.. i would assume w/ fink install xfee86-update.. but if i do this no package is found So... essentially what I am wondering is... how does one get windomaker, fvwm2, vim etc.. if they have used the xfree86-base & xfree86-rootless packages? If the answer is to use the update.. how do I do that?
