Okay,
I get:
[localhost:~] brandonp% gnome-config --libs vfs
-L/sw/lib -lgnomevfs
[localhost:~] brandonp%
and when I use fink list I get (abbreviated):
  i  gnome-user-docs 1.4.1.1-2   General GNOME User Documentation
     gnome-utils     1.4.1.2-3   GNOME utility programs
     gnome-vfs       1.0.5-5     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
     gnome-vfs-dev   1.0.5-5     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
     gnome-vfs-shlib 1.0.5-5     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
  i  gnome-vfs-ssl   1.0.3-5     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, 
wi...
  i  gnome-vfs-ssl-d 1.0.3-5     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, 
wi...
  i  gnome-vfs-ssl-s 1.0.3-5     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, 
wi...
     gnome-vfs2      2.0.1-2     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
     gnome-vfs2-dev  2.0.1-2     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
     gnome-vfs2-shli 2.0.1-2     The GNOME virtual file-system libraries


Let me be really clear on this, I'm not a *nix guy. :) I've very little 
experience, mostly in the last couple of months. That's part of why I 
appreciate fink so much. If I am understanding this conversation 
correctly, then the pkg dependencies aren't correct so fink is trying to 
install all I need, BUT when gcc is running, it's checking for some 
items that aren't present. I'm not sure what vfs adds to the 
gnome-config command, but libs is supposed to display the linked 
libraries--but I'm not really sure what each does-I understand 
dependencies to be essentially this---the system is modular
ie, You can add the stereo pkg  to the car, but fink is supposed to make 
sure there's a battery, cables to supply the power, speaker wires and 
speakers to go with that stereo. Essentially the libraries are adding 
functionality to the system so the programs can function properly. The 
problem I have is that not all the libs I actually need are present (or 
they're not linked if that's even a possibility).

So what do I need to do to fix the problem? Of course, truth be told the 
problem is not really obvious. My X-Windows system is working fine 
(except I can't launch control-center) and all the apps I want to use 
work fine: gimp, abiword, gnumeric, xgalaga :)
When I had the problem with xemacs updating, I just removed it, since I 
have no need (that I know of) for it anyway.

Should I remove my gnome-vfs-ssl** and install gnome-vfs2-***?

Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but I have several 
listings in dselect that show obsolete packages with no info (at the 
top, when it first launches). I can't remove them because it tells me 
most of my current software requires them. Why, if they're obsolete?

Hope I'm not rambling too much. Maybe I can contribute more solutions 
when I get more experience. :)
Thanks for all the hard work and brainpower ya'll have put into the 
project!
