The current version of xfree86-base is 4.2.1.1-4. So, you'll need to update fink with "fink selfupdate" or "fink selfupdate-cvs" if you're accessing CVS tree.

If you want to Apple's X11, follow instructions on Fink web page carefully. In particular, you need to install BOTH Users AND SKD packages.

Apple's X11 is a public beta, and unfortunatley it's suffering from a number of problems that XDarwin has already solved, especially keymapping problems with international keyboards. If you value stability and predictability more than performance -- yes, it runs very fast, with OpenGL, Quartz Extreme support --, XDarwin would be a better choice.

Hope this helps.

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

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.
