I can't actually solve your problem with fink, but I was unable to build dx on my powerbook a while back. I resorted to building the new version, but it is now installed in /usr/local. I am pasting below the letter I sent a while back, in case this might help you out.
Cheers, Charles
p.s. Note that I'm using fink's XFree86 rather than Apple's X11, so this might not work for you. It would be interesting to see if it does, though.
Well, as a temporary solution, I downloaded the most recent version (4.3.0)
and built it outside of fink. Here is what I did:
setenv CFLAGS -no-cpp-precomp setenv CPP 'gcc -E -no-cpp-precomp' setenv CXXCPP 'g++ -E -no-cpp-precomp' setenv CXXFLAGS -no-cpp-precomp setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/sw/lib -bind_at_load' setenv CPPFLAGS '-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/sw/include' ./configure --with-motif-libs=/sw/lib --with-motif-includes=/sw/include --x-includes=/sw/include/ --x-libraries=/sw/lib/ --without-javadx make sudo make install
Note that I explicitly excluded the java stuff, because the confiugre
script tried to compile the java stuff otherwise (and bombed). Other
packages, such as CDF, were excluded during the configuration process when
the appropriate files weren't found.
It's possible that some of the above is unneccessary or detrimental to the
build process, but I ended up with a functioning version of dx (installed
in /usr/local). I'm completely unfamiliar with the fink package procedure,
but perhaps the above might be useful in putting together a package with
the current version. I would certainly prefer that solution to using
/usr/local. I would get rid of /usr/local altogether, but I still need it
for PETSc. Thanks everyone for your help.

Hi,
I haven't tried to rebuild dx in a while, but I cannot run dx any
longer.
It used to work fine, but now I'm observing two different failiure
modes:
Problem 1: "cannot connect to dxexec", which means nothing works.
Problem 2: on one machine, I can still run visual programs but the
graphics
output is garbled.
I'm mentioning this because superficially dx seems to start up normally,
so a quick look could fool you into thinking that the program is
working!
I did fink selfupdate and update-all recently, and switched to Apple X11 (beta 3) a while ago. But I did manage do work with dx under Aplle X11 before, unless my memory fails me completely.
If someone wants to verify this, type "dx" or better dx -edit then choose "Run Visual Programs..." from the menu, navigate to "/sw/share/dx/samples/tutorial" and open (e.g.) "Color2D.net" Then (if you get this far) type CTRL-O and hope that X11 doesn't crash. It just did for me. You also may get to see a garbled picture first...
I have dx and dx-samples installed, and I'm hoping that this can be fixed with a dx-4.3 version within fink.
