[Fink-users] Re: xfree86-rootless-4.2.1.1-4 install failure

[Gary Elshaw]

Yay, i get to help for once.

I'm not sure why (i have SO much to learn) but i removed the XDarwin application from the Applications folder, did a recompile, and Bob's your aunty it worked. Maybe something to do with XDarwin's permissions?

Give it a go.

All the best,
Gary

"Half the developing world ­ some 2 billion people ­ live in countries that
have seen little growth in the last two decades. And even in those
developing countries that have been doing relatively well, hundreds of
millions of people are marginal to the progress of growth. As a result, well
over 1 billion people, around 20 percent of the population of this planet,
live on less than $1 a day.

And the scale of the challenge is not only immense, but rising. In the next
thirty years the population of the world will increase from 6 to 8 billion.
Virtually all those 2 billion will be in the poor countries of the world. "
