In order to get X11 apps like Ghostview to work, you need to install and configure an X-Server. There are several to choose from; I happen to use Oroborosx: http://julia.et.ic.ac.uk/adrian/software/oroborosx/.; Other options include XDarwin, Tenon's iTools (?? I dunno, I haven't tried that one and I forget the exact name for the product), and of course you can get the X consortium's software directly (xfree86.org, I think). Once you have X set up, Ghostview should be much easier to install. You'll need to have X running in order to launch X-based apps; this can be done either in "rootless" mode -- as Oroborosx does -- or it can run on top of or in replacement to Aqua, by e.g. logging in as >console and launching it with the traditional 'startx' command, or by running something like VNC and using network accessible graphical terminals that way. You mention, among others, Ghostscript & LaTeX -- I've got both of these working just fine as installed with Fink & supported by Oroborosx. -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
