Hi folks,

Not sure if this is the right avenue to take, but I am out of ideas. I have read the docs and done the initial fink installs AFTER installing the new Apple branded X11. Now fink will not allow the installation of the above packages. That's a bit of a pickle as a lot of the things I would like to try insist on installing this package before anything else!

Below is a paste of the console session for me.

You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to
install xfree86-base again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want
to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools
instead to make this known to Fink's package system.

Press Return to continue.

I hope that this can help.

Thanks!
