Right. > > 2. Install XQuartz Right. The upgrade will remove your 10.7 X11. And if you happen to forget, performing fink commands is likely to trigger the OS to ask if you want to download Xquartz. > > 3. fink reinstall fink You may get a message that fink is creating the fink-bld user. This is normal if your fink-bld user had the old default UID of 266. I'm not sure what happens if the ID is in the 600-699 range, which is explicitly set aside as being for user-defined IDs. > fink install perl5123-core # is this needed at all? Installing perl5123-core is only really important if you currently have perlmods installed that need it. If not, then don't bother. > fink selfupdate > fink update-all This may not do much, depending on what you have installed.
