Let me advise against that. Fink gets slightly upset if it wants to install or update other packages and X was not installed the way it expects. In the end I nuked by XDarwin package (rm -rf /etc/X11 and such !!!) and let fink re-install the whole caboodle. If you run into trouble with fink, ask on the fink-beginners mailing list. Assistence is virtually guaranteed. -- Victor Eijkhout tel: 865 974 9308 (W), 865 673 6998 (H), 865 974 8296 (F) http://www.cs.utk.edu/~eijkhout/ ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
