I downloaded X11 and have OOo running ok in it. And I'd like to get the GIMP... also like to get KDE but the GIMP is really the one I care about right now.

Anyway I'm totally new to the whole unix thing, I'm an OS 9 user who just got a new iBook so I've stuck with X aside from running a few graphics apps in Classic.

Anyway, but so I downloaded the X11 SDK and installed that too although apple really put it in an odd spot to download took me forever to find.

Anyway, so I hit the install from binaries button on fink commander, and it gave me an error the whole thing is...

I just got an error when trying to install anything else labeled gimp, and I tried installing Abi Word just encase it was some problem specifically with the gimp binaries.. so I got the error

E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any idea how I'd fix this?

I think my installation of Fink might be messed up... sadly... I have no clue what I'm doing...
