Hi I tried to install Fink and and rootless XFree86
everything appeared to go fine. But Xdarwin crashes upon startup as does X11.
I get the following output from the terminal

This is the "Apple trapped by their own crappy binutils" bug.
To get out of it, edit (as root) the file /usr/X11R6/bin/startx, by running "sudo vi" or "sudo pico" on it or whatever text editor you are familiar with.
The first line of this file starts with "#pragma GCC set_debug_pwd".
Remove this line. Or, if you are a conservative guy, exchange it with the second line which is "#!/bin/sh" so that the latter becomes the first line.
startx will then work.
Finally, send a bug report to Apple. They have known about this for a long time, and it is trivial to fix, but they won't fix it unless many people complain about it.
