I am using fink-commander on my powerbook, and when I try to install a
package from source (I am not sure about binary install), I have the
problem of it wanting to compile xfree86 every time

I think I'm having the same problem. I want to install cssed. I end up with this message:


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.


and this:

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6/lib.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-shlibs again. (The package won't be recompiled.)


What am I doing when I delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11?
