Er, Martin, why are you building the software anyway? There's a
pre-built version in fink which works fine with the current Apple X
server; just use dselect or apt-get to install it.
I know several Mac OS X users at this site, and those that use "fink
install" style automatic builds of software seem to have far more
problems than people installing binary packages through apt-get or
dselect.
