From fink, I would be looking for gnucash and gcompris. Can I keep
this version of XQuartz and still using these 2 packages from fink?
XQuartz works great with gimp. Does fink work with XQuartz?
Thanks

Xquartz isn't supposed to work on 10.6, though--at least their
installers don't allow for that. Are you sure you still have that
rather than the system X11 for 10.6?
We're _not_ going to support builds against Xquartz for 10.6 when it
comes out, because it's going to install in a completely different
location from the system's X11.
Check http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/ to see whether particular
packages
you want are available. Note that at this point in time, if a package
is only available in the unstable tree for 10.6, it may not actually
work.
Thanks everyone for their responses.
Checked out the starting a new blog entry. Nice write up. Will follow
those instructions to reinstall Fink.
So, I guess 64 bit is the future... and all fink packages will be
moved to 64 bit... true? (Trying to decide if I should install 32 bit
or 64 bit fink)
XQuartz does not seem to work well with Fink, and the future of Fink-
XQuartz seems bleek. Would Fink work fine with Apple's official X11,
or should I use Fink's own X11 for all my needs?
Thanks for the link to the package database, and the warning about
unstable packages. It seems that all my packages (gnucash2, gimp2,
gcompris) are available ONLY is unstable source versions for
10.6. ...sigh... I guess, I will have to just install it and see...
Thanks again,
Ajay
