That's usually enough. If you've installed packages with application bundles (those folders whose names end with .app) then you might want to remove /Applications/Fink too. I've written a bit about this on http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/starting-anew/ > My setup: > iMac - OS X 10.6.1 > XQuartz 2.3.4 (xorg server 1.4.2-apple45) > > From fink, I would be looking for gnucash and gcompris.

The XQuartz project won't release an OS X 10.6 version until mid- November, early December and, when it does, it will be installed under /opt instead of its current /usr location, so I wouldn't bet on Fink working with new, different location Xquartz on OS X 10.6. Note that OS X 10.6 has been shipped with Apple's official X11, version 2.3.4. I'm not sure if Gnucash installs on 10.6/i386 (32 bits) but we've had reports from users who've installed it on 10.6/x86_64 (64 bits). I don't know about gcompris yet. Maybe other list subscribers have already tried it? Cheers, -- monipol http://finkers.wordpress.com Submitting a Fink bug report?
