Thanks again,
I downloaded and almost got xorg installed but obviously I need to remove some old clutter. Can you help?
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.)





Hmm...it definitely worked for me. Go ahead and do

sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11

And then xorg should be able to install itsefl.

It appears to be the other way around: xorg-shlibs look to be installed. Try "fink list xorg" to verify this. If xorg-shlibs is in fact installed, then you can install xorg.

Thanks Alexander,
I had, in fact, removed X11R6 and got the error. You're right of course, I transposed in typing-sorry. Anyway, the installation worked. Now I'll try it out! Point me to your .deb files for qt3, etc and I'll give that a shot. I assume I'll have to edit my '/sw/etc/apt/sources.list' again?
Thanks for your patience!
Brian
