But it doesn't, at least not with today's Fink, today's Developer Tools, and today's Panther, according to Jeff Nichols and myself. Jeff told you what he did. Here's what I did.
1. Wiped a drive partition
2. Installed Panther to the clean partition, booted from it, and accepted all system updates to latest version (10.3.5)
3. Installed Developer Tools (XCode 1.5)
4. Installed Fink 0.7.0 from fink.sourceforge.net, performed selfupdate and update-all
5. Commanded Fink to install xfree86, installation completed successfully
I used the method which incorporates Apple's X11 (which I've described in my two most recent postings to this list) as a workaround for XDarwin's failure to successfully launch. Martin said he was using Apple's X user, so that's good enough for me.
If I left out any steps, please tell me. Perhaps I performed them but failed to mention them here.
Your mileage may vary.
Yours 'til it does,
