Help on X11 and Installing APPS

[toryblaha]

I am pulling my hair out here. I am new to X11 and I am having issues. I have Downloaded X11, the Developers Tool Kit and Fink. I have updated my xfree86 but I am still unable to install or compile apps such as aterm or matt's trace route. What am I doing wrong.
1) I am getting the error "no acceptable cc found" when trying to configure.

There are three things from Apple that you need. The developers tools (this includes the compiler.. aka cc), the X11 application, and the X11 developers kit (this includes the headder files you need). I have a feeling you are missing one of them.

Thanks, Where do I get the third componenent. I downloaded X11 from apple.com/x11/download and the 3.9 MB X11 for Mac OS X Public Beta SDK file on the same page(bottom right). Where do I get the third component?

You need to sign up for the free developer's account at connect.apple.com

How did you installed xfree86?

If you installed it with Apple's X11, then if you want to use Fink to install things, you need to install the 'system-xfree86' placeholder package, see the instructions on the FAQs at the top of the page.
