Why you're getting this is a bit involved: basically the "x11" package is created by fink based on detection of files in your X11 setup. If something is missing, it's possible that applications that don't need them would run OK, but that Fink wouldn't generate the "x11" package. To debug this, run "fink-virtual-pkgs --debug" in a terminal window and look for items that relate to X11. There will probably be a bunch of them related to pkgconfig, but skip past those. For example, on my own system, I have the following: .... - scanning pkgconfig file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxslt.pc... 1.1.12-1 - scanning pkgconfig file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc... 0.9.7l-1 - checking for library libX11.6.dylib... found in /usr/X11R6/lib - checking for X servers... /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz - system-xfree86-shlibs provides x11-shlibs - found an X server, system-xfree86 provides xserver and x11 ... The last line indicates where the "x11" package is created. So if you look at your output at the same place, let's see what you have that is different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
