Hello, I am having big troubles with Fink and my X11 installation. Here is the full story:
I had a working installation of Fink, with X11.app (Apple version) working fine and X software installed from Fink compiling and running properly. I then decided to give a go to XDarwin and therefore, I followed the instructions in the Fink documentation to replace X11.app with the xorg package. That worked fine, but I had problems when running applications (in particular Gimp.app) with XDarwin. I then decided to revert back to X11.app, so I removed the xorg package and reinstalled X11.app from the OSX (10.4, Intel) installation CD as discussed in the Fink documentation. The installed programs were working properly, but when I decided to compile new packages in Fink relying on X11, I got some problems: /usr/X11R6/include only contains a X11/bitmaps directory, no other headers. All the Fink packages configure scripts are looking there to find the compilation headers for X11. I tried reinstalling X11SDK.app, removing the system-xfree86 packages (no much luck in that) and reinstalling them... and nothing seemed to work. I then decided to start from a clean Fink and X11 installation, so I removed /etc/X11R6, /usr/X11R6, X11.app and /sw completely. I then reinstalled X11.app and X11SDK.app from the Apple CD and downloaded Fink again. I installed Fink, ran a selfupdate and after a full day of compilation and pressing 4 (to get the right mirror), I had a fresh installation of Fink. Now, I have the packages system-xfree86, system-xfree86-dev, system-xfree86-shlibs and system-xfree86-manual-install installed (according to fink list -i system-xfree86), but the /usr/X11R6 is still at the same stage as before, with only includes from X11/bitmaps and missing libs. When I try to compile a package of Fink relying on X11, it still fails, not finding this or that header (depending on the package). I checked and I do have a directory /Developers/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/ which contains all the missing includes and libs. However, I don't know how to tell Fink to use these (or how to make them go in the right place) and can't just symlink as /usr/X11R6 already contains "some" libs and fonts... Any help and recommendations would be great, if you have any idea? Pierre -- Pierre Andrews Ph.D. Student, The University of York Ing.info.dipl.
