Dear X11-users,
I am trying to use fink in order to install a software on my mac.
So, I
followed the instructions at this page:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/09/how-to-install-linux-applications-in-os-x-a-complete-walkthrough/
When I try to update fink, aw suggested in the link above, this
message pops
up:
------------------------------
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Sorry, fink is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
xfree86: Depends: xfree86-shlibs (>= 4.5.0-1040) but it is not going
to be
installed
Conflicts: xfree86-base-threaded
Conflicts: system-xfree86 but 2:4.4-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify
a solution).
------------------------------
Should I ignore it? Or should I try to install xfree86-shlibs?
I also typed 'sudo apt-get -f install' but I get this message:
----------------------------------
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:

I don't understand what is happening...I have a working X11. Where
is the
problem?
Thanks a lot,
