Hello Fink lists,
I am someone completely new to using fink and would be grateful for a
bit of advice. I am running an iMac with OS X 10.3.9 Panther installed.
I have installed fink and run the various updates but now encounter the
following:-
WARNING: you have an incomplete X11 installation.
See http://finkproject.org/faq/usage-packages.php#special-x11-debug
for details on repairing it.
Information about 2638 packages read in 3 seconds.
fink-0.28.5-11: The Fink package manager
fink is the Fink project's package manager. It is responsible for
downloading and compiling source and building binary packages from
it. Binary package handling is then delegated to dpkg.

Regarding X11 this is Version 1.0 copyright 2003 which I think is the
correct version to be running with Panther and I wonder if the warning
message applies to later version of the OS X operating system.
I have also installed XDroplets some of which work just fine but others
come up with the error:-
XDroplets Error
Unable to launch the program "----", as it does not appear in your
path. Please make sure the program is properly installed.
I have checked my ./profile file and the only entry that appears in
this file is:-
. /sw/bin/init.sh
which I understand should set up my PATH. I do not therefore understand
why some XDroplets work and others do not.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Regards,
David
