Thank you so much! For me the issue is resolved. I trashed all XDarwin86 and started agin with a fresh Apple X11, the Developer tools, and Fink Commander. I am able to compile and the Apple fonts look great!
BTW is there a way to create a symbolic link from a program in the /sw/bin/ directory to the desktop or applications menu so I might launch a program such as GAIM without opening the xterm window and typing /sw/bin/gaim... ?
