I have a developer version of 10.5, which I'd like to run fink on. I had to manually install fink, since the package installer was looking for version 10.4, but most everything I'm using seems to work from the 10.4 fink distribution with the exception of the system-xfree86 virtual package.
If I move the apple /usr/X11R6 to a temporary directory and allow fink to install the binary xfree86 package to /usr/X11R6, then replace the fink /usr/X11R6 with the apple /usr/X11R6, everything works fine. This, however, seems like a mess that could lead to future problems. I'd like to force fink to install the system-xfree86 virtual package, if possible. How can I force fink to think that system-xfree86 is installed? Thanks for your help, Matt The relevant parts of fink-virtual-pkgs --debug are: ... - checking for library libX11.6.dylib... found in /usr/X11R6/lib could not determine XFree86 version number ...
