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

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.)

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.

This is actually the desired behavior. Check the FAQ:

Two questions for you:
1) If you run "fink-virtual-pkgs" do you have system-xfree86, system-xfree86-shlibs and system-xfree86-dev listed?
2) If you have the first two but not the third, are you trying to install tetex from source? If so, you need either to install from the binary distribution instead or to install the X11SDK package (from XCode).
