Sorry about the "man xterm" thing. That was the original method by which we checked versions--but now that I've had my coffee I recall that it doesn't actually work with recent X11 versions. One other thing to look at "ls -l /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6". If that doesn't give you $ ls -l /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Mar 3 11:29 /usr/X11 -> /opt/X11 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Mar 3 11:29 /usr/X11R6 -> /opt/X11 then you may need to create those links yourself: sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11 sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11R6 Fink currently requires the presence of those symlinks for X11 detection to work properly, in part because we still support OS X versions where Xquartz is not the official X11 option. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
