A year ago I successfully muddled my way thru Fink, x11 install AND got Gimp running. Bully for me. My 1st Apple, by the way....
Year later --gave my son the slick Powerbook G4 15" (10.3.7, all updated...). Me, I got a 14" iBook. I MIGRATED (Firewire, target-drive, etc) my profile, and everything ELSE over to the iBook. Did all updates as of 1/17/05, etc. Of course the only thing that doesn't work anymore is X11, and hence nothing ELSE in /sw, like Gimp. Which I am enamored of. Ethereal too.... When I try and launch X11: dyld: /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2 Bummer. Sure enough, no X11R6 directory in /usr. Gak. I launch my year-old Fink Commander (runs fine; I ignored the offer of update), and reel in the xfree86 source fine, *figuring* a re-install/compile might fix things, but....problems: Information about 1113 packages read in 4 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: xfree86 The following additional package will be installed: xfree86-shlibs Do you want to continue?

I'm sort of at a standstill here; I recall last year struggled with this as well, (lots of compiling, machine got real warm) can't find my way back.... Wondering if anyone has any suggestions here..... /sw is still there.../sw/src/xfree86-4.3.0-14 is there.... My son, he has one real nice laptop at this point. it all works on the 15' Powerbook. Good and decent kid, 24, w/ a *major* challenge in the year to come. The laptop, it was the least i could do. 'Nuff said. Me, i'm trying to figure out whether i'm on a slippery slope, w/ the MIGRATION and all. I could: -rm -rf /sw , start from scratch. Considering I DELETED all x11 directories and did the fink-commander thing, I sorta did this, as in got RID of all x-directories, started from x-scratch. -fix the problem (um...that's why i'm here) succumb to the sinking feeling a complicated box like mine, a migration just doesn't cut it, bite the bullet, backup, reinstall EVERYTHING.... -other?? Am I missing something here? Been reading faq's, etc for HOURS. thanks in advance....
