Hullo,

Today I installed MAC X11. I then installed SDK and have the X11 extensions - which I havent installed yet.

The installation went ok and I can access the native x11 app like xclocke ets.


You have to install system-xfree86 so that the Fink dependencies are
met. See the Fink documentation for more info.
