Alain, if you like the "linux" way better, you may wish to try out the gnu-darwin collection at http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/, it works more like linux in the directory structures and everything. To tell the truth, I thought fink was kinda funky that way, I liked the linux/unix directory structure better (most all stuff in /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib etc etc). Also you may need to get/install the developer tools, as I don't recall if gcc and assorted stuff is installed by default. It's a free download from the apple developers area. Note that both of these are fairly sizable downloads, gnu-darwin is 650mb, and the developers tools was 200mb???(I forget, but large). If you got a lot of bandwith, it will just take hours to get, instead of days. Both are available on silver platters with $$. Last if you stay with fink, just make sure to add the directories /sw/fink/bin to your directory path. Dave Gomez On 2/20/02 9:09 AM, "Alain Barthelemy" <abarthelemy@sbb.ihe.be> wrote:

Hello

===== Also, another piece of information, there are things like Darwin and Fink to load those missed programs, making it real easy to add open source packages like bash. I'm not a big fan of tcl shell, so it's one of the first things I replaced, past that, OSX or Linux, configuration was the same.

Sorry, I may be dumb but I never get used to Mac language. I went to Fink's web-site, tried to download the installation package: it downloaded a lot of stuff except fink-0.x.x-full.tar.gz like announced.

I have well a /sw/fink directory with a lot of stuff inside but which one to use?

I still prefer the good old Linux-way (easier for me even if sometimes difficult).

I finally managed to install X11R6 with a "click-click" package and I try to install a correct window-manager. I downloaded WindowMaker-0.98 tarballs.

Compiling libPropList ... no problem

compiling WindowMaker ... : "no command found" when typing "make" after ./configure

Pleasure ... pleasure

Did anybody succeed in installing a working X11R6 in MacOsX?
