[Ggobi-help] building ggobi on OS X: gtk+/xfree86 problem
The "fink install gtk+" script gives me two choices for xfree86: install a Fink version or keep the Panther version and tell Fink. Can anyone comment on their experience of which is better with RGgobi and any other R packages? Thanks, George

While using instructions in http://ggobi.hadley.textdriven.com/downloads/osx.html, everything seemed to go smoothly until near the end of the "fink install gtk+" step. It seems to run into conflict with a previous xfree86 installation. The tail end of the installation output is included below. Any suggestions of what to do next? This installation is on a new Power Mac G5. Thanks, George . . . Unpacking xfree86 (from .../xfree86_4.3.99.16-2_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... WARNING: if you compile X11 applications against this XFree86 release, you will *not* be able to run them if you decide to revert to Apple's X11 provided with Panther. You have an existing X11 installation in /usr/X11R6 and/or /etc/X11. This package refuses to overwrite these. Remove them, then tell Fink to install xfree86 again. (The package won't be recompiled.) If you want to keep your X11 installation, install system-xfree86 resp. system-xtools instead to make this known to Fink's package system. Press Return to continue.
