Martin, First, I appreciate your help. I tried what you said but it didn't work.
My current set up is as follows. OSX 10.1.5 my fink stuff is on the main partition in /sw My path is echo $path /sw/bin /sw/sbin /Users/smithsm/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin /Users/smithsm/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin /Developer/Tools /usr/X11R6/bin I moved both /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 away I updated fink to the latest version with self update (used fink commander) I then ran update all. Everything built fine until it came across XFree This is the error it gives make MAKE=/usr/bin/gnumake World WORLDOPTS=-S Building Release 6.6 of the X Window System. I hope you checked the configuration parameters in ./config/cf to see if you need to pass BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS.
