I removed /sw and fink commander from my system. I did this following the reinstallation of Apple's X11 packages.
I then redownloaded fink and did the following sequence.
I'm really not sure what I should do with respect to the x11 installation (recall that I'm trying to get tetex installed on a Pather system - G5 Dual processors).

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6/lib. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86-shlibs again. (The package won't be recompiled.)
Press Return to continue.
You just tried to install X11 from fink, which refuses to install because it detects that you already have a X11 install (from Apple). So no surprise here.
Is there some kind of HOW TO guide I should be following?
What happens if you install tetex with 'sudo apt-get install tetex'?
