Hi Jay

You need to have system-xfree86 installed for fink to recognise you have X11,

Make sure you have the latest SDK from the MAC website installed.
Check that your fink version is up to date

[:~] gtate% fink -V
Package manager version: 0.11.1
Distribution version: 0.5.1
[:~] gtate%
If not follow the instructions on their website to upgrade

You can then install (needed):
current system-xfree86 4.2-5 (Placeholder package for manually installed XFree86)


You should be good after this to install what you want with fink and it will run in X11

Just wondering if there it a tutorial out there to install Gnome2 or even 1.4 with Apple's X11. I installed this version of X11 and felt confused with what I can do. Can anyone help me with setting my machine up. I can't boot into >console and run startx anymore either

(I replaced my fink install of XFree86 with Apple's X11)
