Hi all, Just a quick question here. I recently installed the new X11 on my leopard system and am trying to install some fink packages, but am running into some problems. I updated the X11 binary using the X11 disk image package (X11 2.1.0.1). Now I am trying to install python 2.5 and Tcl/Tk using fink and am getting the following error message: <<Start of Fink Error Message>> jec_MBP: fink install python25 Password: could not determine XFree86 version number Information about 6198 packages read in 0 seconds. fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates: (1) system-xfree86-manual-install: Manually installed X11 components (2) system-xfree86-dev: [virtual package representing Apple's install of X11] Pick one: [1] 2 fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency.
