Hi,
I tried to install gnucash which ended with an error message telling me that I needed to try to manually install
tetex-texmf tetex-base
I then tried to install these files and got the following message
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/ xfree86_4.3.99.16-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Selecting previously deselected package xfree86-shlibs.
Unpacking xfree86-shlibs (from .../xfree86-shlibs_4.3.99.16-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...
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.

Help!!! I'm every bit the unix neophyte. Can anyone tell me what this means? I'm running Panther with the x11 installation from that came ith it.
