That means you don't have X11 installed, or something is missing from your X11 installation which is causing Fink to think it isn't installed. > I assume that fink loads missing packages by itself (after a query > to the user). > You assume incorrectly when the package is provided by Apple rather than via Fink. > I didn't find a solution on the fink-homepage and in the internet > (and now I'm tired of looking for that). The bottom part (it should be moved up now) of http://www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-packages.php?phpLang=en#special-x11-debug has our current method to check what's wrong with X11 installations. Why is there a statement that xfree can be installed by fink but there's no x11 or xfree(86) package (http://www.finkproject.org/doc/x11/inst-xfree86.php?phpLang=en#fink). Apples X11 package is told to be old, installing the x-Server XQuartz didn't help. > Because that statement was true before OS 10.5 came out. That particular document is need of a major update. > Greetings Tobbi > > 1) Check whether you have a symbolic link /usr/X11R6 which points to /usr/X11 . Fink has had to assume such a symbolic link exists in order to keep backwards compatibility with older OS X versions. If you don't have that, use cd /usr ln -s X11 X11R6 to create it. 2) If that symbolic link is present then use fink-virtual-pkgs --debug 2>&1 | grep -A18 libX11.6.dylib and post the results. That way we can see what is missing. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7aLQoACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8bsQCdGZUGC4QlUfi6KZrP0jhfk5ww F1MAn2O0W8s25+ith5d5Rzv/ZhyIAMWG =/3+A -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
