Fink and X11 2.1.0.1

7 Dec 2007

      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

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

| Attention!
|
| Package system-xfree86 is an autogenerated virtual package.
|
| You cannot manipulate this type of package using the usual Fink tools.
| A detailed description of this package follows...
|
| This package represents a pre-existing installation
| of X11 on your system that is not installed through
| Fink.
|
| If it shows as not installed, you likely need to
| install the X11User and/or X11SDK packages from
| Apple, or a similarly-compatible version.  For more
| information, please see the FAQ entry on X11
| installation at:

<<END OF ERROR MESSAGE>>

I have tried every combination of the virtural dependancies but no  
luck.  Can anyone help me get this up and running?

Thanks in advance for your help!

PS:  Fink itself compiled fine and ran into no errors.
