Dear Alexander, Mailing list: thank you very much for your help. Meanwhile I solved the problem. Unfortunately I took a very chaotic approach wich involved deleting all the parts involved (X11, and fink) and resinstalling everything. I don't exactly why, but it started working. So, I cannot report what the problem truly was, to begin with.
But thank you VERY much for taking the time to aswer such a basic question; I'm always in awe by this cooperative efforts, Tiago Alexander Hansen wrote: > > On Oct 24, 2008, at 11:14 PM, Luis F wrote: > >> Dear Mailing List, >> >> I am trying to install a program (xemacs). >> I get the error: >> "Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: >> xemacs: Depends: x11 but it is not installable." >> >> But X11 from Apple is installed, version XQuartz 2.3.1 >> It's working, for instance gimp works perfectly >> >> I have a MacBook Pro, Intel, MacOs X version 10.5.5.
