No offense, but this software better be worth this much trouble.....
Here's the latest:

How about we flush out ALL of the kind packages that are currently in the system, and rebuild this puppy from scratch. I mean, we wiped out Apple's X11, right???? What about Fink? How can I do that, and then follow the directions from scratch on installing tetex??????????
Clearing Fink out is easy:
rm -rf /sw
Can I even generate a list of what's installed????
"fink list -i", or use Fink Commander.
However, your problem looks to be partially installed XFree86 stuff, which won't show up in Fink Commander.
I keep looking at Fink Commander window, and you all seem to be using Fink on the command line....
"sudo apt-get install" is the same as Binary->Install, but I was trying to use options that aren't mapped into Fink Commander.
I was trying to avoid playing with the command line, but.....
