I'm trying install xorg instead of apple's x11.app but I had some
trouble uninstalling x11.app. I used desinstaller to uninstall
X11.pkg and X11sdk.pkg. However, when I tried to install xorg
(which I had compiled while those packages were installed) it
complained that an x11 installation was already in /usr/X11R6 and /
etc/X11. Hmm... So, I took matters into my own hands and moved
the offending directories out of the way, then tried 'fink install
xorg' again.
This is nominally what you should do.
Here's what I got:
Setting up xorg (6.8.2-25) ...
dyld: /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/
libfontconfig.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
/sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/xorg.postinst: line 23: 1215 Trace/BPT
trap /usr/X11R6/bin/fc-cache
/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing xorg (--install):
Looks like xorg is linked against stuff that should be in /usr/
X11R6. Did I break some other fink packages by moving those
directories? Will I need to recompile lots of things?
Maybe not: try reinstalling xorg-shlibs--that's where this library
is supposed to live.
with Apple's X11 uninstalled I thought I should have removed
anything in /usr/X11R6. Some time ago I switched from darwinports
to fink. Maybe darwinports had X11 installed in /usr/X11R6?
_Everybody_ installs X11 in /usr/X11R6--if it could be moved easily
Fink would install it under its own tree and avoid a lot of hassle. ;-)
Any idea how I can get xorg working?
Cheers
Mike
