I have an eMac. When I got it, with Mac OS X 10.2 I installed Fink and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to 10.3 and it hasn't worked properly ever since.

At first, it would crash when installing some of the GTK apps. From this list I was informed that apparently the 10.3 upgrade did not properly install the new X. So Following instructions, I re-installed X. GTK apps like Gaim did in fact compile and install, but when I ran them, they would start up and display a grey box without any text. I left it alone for a while, but my son who uses the Mac had some apps he really wanted to use.

So yesterday I tried doing a Fink upgrade but it got stuck. So instead:

1. deleted the /sw directory
2. deleted Fink prefs I found in several places, including all the hidden Unix files in his directory
3. Downloaded Fink .70 and installed


I did a source install of Gaim and it worked fine. But when I ran it, it hung for a few minutes and gave me "Bus Error" without displaying anything,

Did the same for Abiword and same thing happened, except got a slightly more detailed error message:

/sw/bin/abiword: line 14: 4609 Bus error /sw/lib/AbiSuite-2.0/AbiWord-2.0

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
