after clean installing panther (including X11) and then fink 0.6.1 (following the special install instructions for panther on the fink site). now if I try to install anything I get this message:

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:

(1) xfree86-rootless-threaded: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(2) xfree86-rootless: XFree86 libraries, utilities, clients and data
(3) xfree86: XFree86 distribution


I went ahead and installed (2) because i couldn't think of anything else to do only to find I got a message that it wasnt installed due to the fact I already have X11, fink then exited without installing the package I wanted.

how come fink doesnt recognise my X11 installation?

In my case, I needed to RE-install the X11 SDK frome the Xcode CD.


You DID install it, didn't you?
