Hi

I have a working X11 via the apple packages. I want to install the
system-xfree86 pseudopackage but I'm having trouble making the system
notice that I have it installed.

I am using fink commander: is this the problem?
Clicking on the system-xfree86 package, and then on the "install binary"
or "install from source" buttons seems to have no effect; when I go
back to install the package I want (pgplot), it insists on downloading
and building the entire xfree86 distribution from source.
(pgplot is in the unstable tree and only available as source)

I did a little poking under the hood.
  dpkg -l
doesn't show the system-xfree86 package.
However
  apt-cache show system-xfree86
gives the status line -
  Status: install ok installed

Que?
Can someone tell me the correct procedure for making fink commander
notice that system-xfree86 is installed.


Confused,
Vince

PS: version numbers. fink-0.7.1, finkcommander-0.5.3, OS/X 10.3, Xcode1.1.
