After "forget"ting, installing X11 from the installer on the CD, and running
fink selfupdate, I receive the message
WARNING: you have an incomplete X11 installation.
See http://finkproject.org/faq/usage-packages.php#special-x11-debug for
details on repairing it.
The webpage (and the other which it first refers me to) may help but seem
10.4/5-specific - possibly still compatible with 10.6 for all I know. As to
X11SDK, though, I am able to find that package in the Terminal using the
instructions you give here, but not in the Finder- no option to show hidden
folders seems to exist anywhere. I don't know how to decompress, open and
execute a package and its contents in the Terminal yet, or I don't think I
do... (fink X11SDK?)
Thanks again, this now feels almost done somehow.
