<http://surfingthetimelesswave.net>Dr H:
This FC feedback after failed sawfish install bounced back from <
[email protected]> so I'm sending it to you. I still need help in terms of
learning how to "open" the Unix programs that fink installs. Do I need a
window manager like sawfish AND also a desktop app like Gnome to run the
apps that fink installs? If I need sawfish, then something has again failed
to deliver it. : - ) So far if I type "mozilla" in an X11 window I get an
old, old version of mozilla that opens after it says "command not found" . .
. after a minute a window opens, but nothing else fires up with its name
alone like that. Help.

Sawfish: Feedback: not good
Sirs: tried several times to install sawfish from source and the process
failed. Ran it in Fink Commander and then tried it using Terminal. I'm a
green fink newbie so I don't know if it's something I did or sawfish isn't
compatible w/10.4.11? Winds up with error shown below:
