OK, I go back and install XCodeTools  the RIGHT way (the .mpkg
file...live and learn).

I searched and searched Apple's install disks, couldn't find the Apple
X11 stuff at all (and I really, really looked)

It's supposed to be on the Panther media somewhere, but you can download the runtime package:


http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html

The development headers are part of XCode for some perverse reason.

, so i go BACK to  Fink,
and re-initiate the xfree86-4.3.0 install and it works! As in machine
compiled code for an hour or so (kept the window open to try and cool
the box).

On completion, a new icon appears in Applications, 'XDarwin. It's
creation date is today...hmmm. I click on it, and:

2005-01-18 08:32:10.207 XDarwin[11691] No Info.plist file in
application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file,
exiting

It won't launch.

The XDarwin app; what is it's launch-failure warning telling me, and
what stone may I have left unturned here? I feel I am SO CLOSE to
regaining use of X, and hence Gimp.....

Ummm...XFree86-4.3 was broken on Panther and was pulled a while ago from the 10.3 distribution of Fink. You can get a later version from the binary distribution now, too.


What version of Fink are you running?
