Do you mean you have Apple's X11 installed? And you don't want to remove it and install Fink's xorg instead? In this case, because Fink's xorg and Apple's X11 cannot coexist, you need to do the following: - Remove the already-installed xorg-shlibs package, and also xorg if fink thinks it is installed. - Then reinstall Apple's X11, which means both the X11User.pkg and the X11SDK.pkg (both somewhere on your system disk). You may first have to remove X11-related receipts from /Library/Receipts/ to make Apple's installer happy. In case you really want to switch to Fink's xorg, you have indeed to remove the directory /etc/X11 which is part of Apple's X11 installation. The symlink that will replace it will be installed by the xorg package. There are some FAQ entries (#9.11 and #9.130 about this (rather unfortunate) situation: <http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/faq.en.html#usage-packages.apple-x11-wants-xfree86> -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
