You mean, what fink system? Or what Mac OS X? Here are the vitals on both:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 17:22:26 ~: fink --version Package manager version: 0.23.3 Distribution version: 0.7.1.rsync
OS X: 10.3.7
or maybe you mean which version of X is currently installed?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 17:22:33 ~: fink list | egrep xfree86
i system-xfree86 2:4.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11]
i system-xfree86-dev 2:4.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 development tools]
i system-xfree86-shlibs 2:4.3-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 shared libraries]
Does this provide some ideas of what to do? I'd just rip the current X out and reinstall, but I think there are gobs and gobs of other packages that depend on various X libraries, so fink is going to complain about that.
Thanks.

Those'd be from an X11 (whether it be XFree86-4.3 or Apple's) that isn't installed by Fink. You can' t use Fink to overwrite this. You'd have to remove it manually (which in this case doesn't give any dependency problems). The error you were getting was unusual, though--I'd still expect a partial install of some xfree86 package.
