When I try to install ethereal, fink tells me that it has to install this thing called xfree first. I assumed it was some necessary package to make ethereal work, so I said "Yes" when it asked to install. However, during installation, xfree fails again and again at the same point (which is a pain, because it takes forever to get to this point as it is). I have included several terminal lines that appear before the failure point so that someone might understand what is going wrong. I don't know anything about this package that insists it be installed, and thus I don't know how to fix the problem. Please help.

Here are the lines:

/bin/rm -rf /sw/src/root-xfree86-shlibs-4.3.99.16-2
/bin/mkdir -p /sw/src/root-xfree86-shlibs-4.3.99.16-2/sw
