Confirm this by running fink list "x11*" You should see p x11 [virtual package] p x11-dev [virtual package] p x11-shlibs [virtual package] among the listed packages. If they don't have a "p" then there's more diagnosis to do. Although something that does make me a bit concerned is that you've got version 4.5 in your system-xfree86. Did you install Apple's X11 over an XFree86 installation? -- Alexander K. Hansen Fink Documenter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
