I'm having a problem trying to install xfree86 on OS X 10.2.8.
I've got a perfectly running installation on OS X 10.3.2, but I decided to install another hard drive and put OS X 10.2.8 on it so I could try to troubleshoot a problem reported with gaiw, which I maintain. Today I installed OS 10.2.8 and a brand new fink installation on a completely virgin hard drive. I enabled the unstable tree, did a fink selfupdate, and started installing all the dependencies of gaiw. But xfree86-base refused to install, as fink complained that there was an existing xfree86 installation.
/etc/X11 did not exist. I removed /usr/X11R6 and tried again, but got the same errors. See below for part of the Terminal output.
What do I do now? Is the X11 installation on another hard drive somehow confusing things?
Kevin Horton ================
If your /usr/X11R6 is different between the two setups it shouldn't cause a problem.
One additional possibility is /Applications/XDarwin.app . If this is present a Fink xfree86* package won't install (but the error message won't report this).

I gave up on xfree86-base- 4.2.1.1, and just went with 4.3.0, which installed without problem. I don't know what was causing the original problem, but I managed to sidestep it, so I don't really care any more.
Take care,
Kevin Horton
Sounds good--it must have been something in the preinstallation script that's different for 4.3
