Thanks for replying, Alexander. I did a full and successful install of the Dev Tools yesterday. The installer reported no errors. Just now, I rechecked the 'fink selfupdate' command and I'm getting the 'connection reset by peer' error, so that's good news if it wants to try to connect to cvs.... I'll keep trying that one.
I do not have /usr/X11R6/bin on my system. I guess the reinstall hosed it. X11 _used_ to work. The Console error messages have to do with missing fonts. The fatal error is that it couldn't find the "fixed" font.
