I need X11 for OpenOffice.org, which is one of my translation projects, so I need to test the translated builds. I've also just gone through a lot of hassle to get my Vietnamese input working in X11, so I might be better off sticking with what I have.
update-all has messed up X11? :(
In this case, because Fink's xorg and Apple's X11 cannot coexist,
Grrr...
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>
Thanks. I'll read the FAQ and hope to get things working again. Thank Heavens I've finished testing for OpenOffice.org 2.1 Mac Intel. The first Vietnamese translation for OpenOffice.org, and I don't know a single other Vietnamese person who uses a Mac. ;) (The other builds [Windows32, Linux i386, i586, x86, Solaris] will be out as soon as I can get the QA finished on those platforms.)
