There are threads and threads and threads about this on this list and on fink-beginners.

Read this part of the FAQ:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-packages.php#apple-x11-wants- xfree86

And try out Martin Costabel's debug script (quoting a message that he posted on -devel):

it is...available here: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/costabel/fink-x11-debug
To use it, save it anywhere and
- either make it executable and run it as "./fink-x11-debug"
- or run it as "perl fink-x11-debug

can someone point me to the documentation on getting
panther's x11 and fink to co-exist?

neither fink's quickstart or documentation seem to be of any help.

so far i have a partial installation of fink since it bailed out with a
"you have an existing installation in /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11.
This package refuses to overwrite these"
and so on message.


at which point i thought "bravo, at least nothing is messed up"
.... well.... wrong!
x11.app won't run anymore
it bounces a couple of times and then quits......

That's because you partially overwrote it.

is there an up-to-date, step-by-step instruction
on how to get this to work????

thanks
