I ask because when i use dselect to install gimp, it asks me if it's ok to install a bunch of dependancies including xfree86-base and xfree86-base-shlibs


I thought apples X11 package would provide all the relevent X11 client libs itself, or is it only a bare server and wm?


Note it also trys to remove system-xfree86, isn't that the 'virtual' package that tells apt i already have X11 via apples X11?

It should work with Apple X11.  Can you try installing the packages
listed one at a time to see where the spurious dependency on
xfree86-base comes from?

Well, i was having a few other issues with fink so i rm -rf /sw and started from scratch. Now gimp installs without messing about with X :)
