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.
Is it related to this?
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#apple- x11-wants-xfree86
And the "system-sfree86 resp. system-xtools" message is somewhat confusing as well as outdated:
system-xfree86 is now a virtual package (along with system-xfree86-shlibs and system-xfree86-dev) that shows up automatically.
system-xtools was supposed to allow people to use XTools, which was a commercial X11 project which I don't believe ever had a version for Jaguar, much less Panther.
resp. is somebody's HTMLese way to avoid having "system-xfree86 / system-xtools"
Anyway, just follow what it says in the above FAQ entry. -- Alexander K. Hansen Fink Documentarian Day Job: Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX
