Hello,
I recently tried installing the xfree86-base with fink, this was before apple released their x11 server.
% fink install xfree86-base
sudo /sw/bin/fink install xfree86-base
Password:
Information about 874 packages read in 2 seconds.
pkg xfree86-base version ###
pkg xfree86-base version 4.2.1.1-3
The following package will be installed or updated:
xfree86-base
The following additional package will be installed:
xfree86-base-shlibs
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Fink then does it think, with the compiling and what not but when it gets to the install part, the following error occurs.
mv /sw/src/root-xfree86-base-4.2.1.1-3/Applications /sw/src/root-xfree86-rootless-4.2.1.1-3/
mv: rename /sw/src/root-xfree86-base-4.2.1.1-3/Applications to /sw/src/root-xfree86-rootless-4.2.1.1-3//Applications: No such file or directory
### execution of mv failed, exit code 1
Failed: installing xfree86-rootless-4.2.1.1-3 failed
I am not sure why this is occurring, however, to see if it was just an error with the package, I have the latest binary release of fink version 0.5.0a, and am wondering, what I should do now. Should I try a different method of installing xfree86-base, or just give up entirely and install Apple's X11 instead? Thanks.
