Two questions here, kinda related to each other. After getting the XFree86 base downloaded and compiled(finally, after the 6th try), the install failed out at the very end saying that a previous XFree86 was already installed and the installer refused to overwrite it. Can anyone tell me where the installation checks for existing installs so that I can delete the old cruft safely and not accidentally toast the new X base that Fink compiled? I'm hesistant to toast /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11, and /Applications/XDarwin.app per the FAQ cause I dunno if any of these are the freshly compiled stuff or the old one's that are causing the grief. I REALLY don't want to go through that X compile again!
I've been fighting for a while to get Fink updated to 0.4.0 and have it cleanly running now after having given up and rm'ing /sw and starting over again. I had a really old Fink installed from previously installing the MacGimp port. Any Gimp fans out there know how the Gimp installer works? Specifically, now that I've got Fink up to date, if I re-run the installer from the MacGimp CD, will it waste my new Fink and put it's old Fink back in over it? Any help greatly appreciated! -Heidi _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
