As promised, over the weekend I re-tried Fink. The virtual packages were
there as promised, X11 did not recompile and Gaim and xmms worked! This
is the goal I was trying to achieve - have Gaim and other GTK+ apps work
properly (i.e. show fonts and menus) I will now retry the process on the
eMac where Gaim and other GTK+ apps aren't working. Perhaps the order of
installation may matter - i.e. in the past I installed xmms before gaim.
I know it shouldn't matter but perhaps it does in that xmms installs an
older version of gtk. While that seems close to superstitious behavior,
I will do the same order of operations on the eMac and see if in fact it
works there as well. There may be some other explanation but I already
tried reinstalling Fink on that machine to no avail - of course this was
a few months ago so there may be some other bug fixes that resolved the
problem. And of course this time I will first check the virtual packages
to make sure everything was installed properly.
Thanks for all the help.
