Installing Apple's X11 over a Fink X11 setup is generally not a good idea. You're going to need to flush your X11 installation via the command at the beginning of: http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#special-x11-debug Also run "sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/X11Update2006.pkg" Then go ahead and reinstall X11User.pkg. You'll want X11SDK.pkg from the Xcode Tools if you plan on doing any compiling of X11-based programs. Unfortunately, almost everything that you've -built- with Fink that uses X11 will require rebuilding because of non-backwards-compatibility in the libraries from Fink's xfree86 packages. Packages that were installed via the binary distribution will be OK, as these were built on a system with Apple's X11 installed. -- Alexander K.
