I'm trying to install xfree86 on a new MacBook Pro. I haven't installed any other versions of X11 yet (including the one on the Apple disk). The install plugs along happily for quite a while and then ends with:

Selecting previously deselected package xfree86.
(Reading database ... 4129 files and directories
currently installed.)
Unpacking xfree86 (from
.../xfree86_4.5.0-1024_darwin-i386.deb) ...

XFree86 release,
you will *not* be able to run them if you decide to

When I try an "install xfree86" again or a "update xfree86" it says its attempting to replace it, then fails very quickly with what looks like a similar error. When I try to remove it, it says xfree86 is not installed. I'm stuck, suggestions?

Thanks for any help,
Romy
