I'm drowning in unix!
Once upon a time, I braved the waters and dove head long into the new
possibilities of OS X. I installed as much XWindows stuff as I could, I
downloaded, built libraries, compiled, and installed unix components to
my hearts delight.
I had XDarwin and OroborOSX installed and running on my Mac. Everything
was going good. I was using Fink, and occasionally installing libraries
and compiling binaries all by myself.
Along came Apple's X11. I installed it, and now I find myself dragging
around all this extra baggage that no longer works. It's hiding in
directories like /sw/bin, /usr/X11R6/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc. I know
it's there, I can smell it's fetid stench, the odor of decaying
binaries...
I still have OroborOSX and XDarwin on my computer, but neither of them
appear to work. In addition, I also have some applications that do not
work, and I'm sure that their are a bunch of incompatible
libraries/directories lingering on as well.
What do I need to remove, purge, delete, in order to keep Apple's X11
healthy? It's running fine, but I'd very much like to purge my system
of anything unnecessary (in regards to all that unix stuff I added).
Where's the fat? How do I get rid of these maligerer's?
