Then why does http://www.finkproject.org/doc/bundled/install-fast.php#install explicitly state fink install xfree86-server gimp when there is no xfree86-server, and (as the other poster points out) there is no gimp package either? (it strikes me the example showing everything works should be for something small, useful, and with minimal dependencies. gimp and xfree86-server fail at least two out of three.) X11.app is already installed in Applications/Utilities and running. Ah, /usr/X11R6/include is empty, so the headers etc. weren't included in the downloadable Xcode 3.0.pkg. Which might be less surprising if it was called anything other than 'Xcode'. So, I finally had to use the install DVDs, rather than pull it off Apple's site. Found X11SDK and X11Documentation.pkg on Disc 1 in Optional Installs/XCode Tools/Packages/ no sign of any X11User.pkg. (And there are the OpenGL headers in their own package, too! I'd been wondering where they were.) >And you need to install Xcode 3.0 if you haven't already, yes, have that. >and then use "fink >selfupdate-rsync" to get the package descriptions--they aren't included when >you bootstrap. That has never worked. $ fink selfupdate-rsync Failed: Sorry, fink doesn't support rsync updating in the 10.5 distribution at present. selfupdate-rsync isn't supported under 10.5.
