Martin,
thank you. Actually, I had Fink installed on Tiger 10.4.9 and
everything worked fine. Then, I upgraded to 10.5, 10.5.1 and 10.5.2.
Since a few issues started to come out after that, and since I had a
huge /sw folder, I decided to go for a full removal & clean re-
install. Of course I was not aware of the difficulties I would have
encountered. :-)
I assume that upgrading to Leopard also upgraded my X11.app. And you
tell me that the 10.5.2 upgrade added more bug fixes. It was on top of
this configuration that I recently
- Upgraded X11 to 2.1.4
- Upgraded XCode Tools to 3.0
However, Fink does not recognize X11. I guess my chance is following
step (2) in your message. As I said before, I'll have to wait to get
my hands on the Leopard DVD again.
Thanks
Sergio
