[Fink-users] Gnome installation

[Twixster]

Title: Gnome installation

I used to have a bunch of fink software, but that is not my issue.  I had a really bad system crash that required me to format my entire hard disk and I did not have time to back any of my apps up.  However, now when I try to install software like for instance gimp I get this stream of text

So I press enter and then it gives this.  I think that I have everything installed that I need to have, for instance I have the developers tools installed and I have x11 install (mainly because I have panther).  I have tried to figure it out but I just can not get it at the moment.  Please help

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.

Press Return to continue.
