Hello everyone,
I have tried all remedies on the Fink FAQ page. I had the problem where I had neglected to install x11 SDK. Sadly, I wasn't aware that this was a problem at the time, so I had fink install xfree86-shlibs. This, of course, messed up my Apple x11 installation. So, I re-installed x11, and everything was honky dory. But, then I couldn't install updates because fink couldn't find x11. So, I followed the recipe on the fink FAQ and removed fink installations of x11, removed the signs of Apple's x11 installation, and re-installed Apple x11 and X11 SDK.
I can't install anything any more because the system-x11 installation cannot be detected by fink. And, no matter what I do, I cannot get fink to find the x11 installation.
Here are the technical details:
Panther 10.3.2, GCC 3.3, Fink 0.17.4-1 (prebinding 0.7-2). I am installing X11 1.0. I tried fix-fink, but it told me that everything was ok. I ran fink-virtual-pkgs and x11 did not show up. Running fink -index does not solve the problem, either.
I hope there is an easier solution than removing the sw/bin directory and starting from scratch.
That wouldn't save you anyway. I'd remove all of /usr/X11R6, then reinstall X11 and the SDK--make sure that you don't have any xfree86* packages installed.
