the weird thing is that i had only ever installed apple X11 *and* x11sdk.
but last month (against my better judgment) i updated texmacs--from
source, not binary actually. it was then that it claimed i need
xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs.
You should have resisted and tried to find out why it wanted another X11 installation.
As I said, texmacs never depended on xfree86-base-threaded-shlibs and none of its dependencies depend on x11 at all, so the only explanation for that behavior is that at that time your installation of the two Apple packages was incomplete. Fink still would have offered you the choice between different packages fulfilling the dependency on the virtual package x11.
I assume you have read the Fink FAQ#8.11?
yep--now!--and system-xfree86 is missing. could it be that the texmacs
upgrade screwed things up with this? or am i making a really dumb mistake
by looking at both 10.3 and 10.2-gcc3.3 trees?
Have you tried to install the two Apple packages a second time? Unfortunately, this seems to be necessary for many people. It is a strange bug in Apple's installer on Panther that it often installs only a subset of the files of a package.
