OK..a few steps closer! I get the warning below, now, and am not sure
how to implement removing X11 or how to
install system xfree86..if I do these 2 things,  will Gimp and
Cinepaint for Mac become inoperable?

thanks!

WARNING: if you compile X11 applications against this XFree86 release,
you will *not* be able to run them if you decide to revert to Apple's
X11 provided with Panther.

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.

Press Return to continue.



This is covered in the FAQ:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#apple- x11-wants-xfree86

You probably need to install the X11SDK package.
