I think you mean 0.27.8 :-) Luckily, this is easy to clarify. 10.4 and 10.5 use a common tree so there's no issue there. On Leopard, we're only supporting Apple's X11, so you'll need to install that (both X11User and X11SDK). (I don't recall Fink ever having an xfree86-server package) And you need to install Xcode 3.0 if you haven't already, and then use "fink selfupdate-rsync" to get the package descriptions--they aren't included when you bootstrap. apt-get doesn't do anything, because there is no binary distribution for Leopard yet. -- Alexander K.
