Does Fink not like X11 pb 0.2?

Recently did an archive and install to clear out the multitude of little hacks and twaddles I'd accumulated over the years. Also dumped my /sw directory and X11 in the process.

Today I installed the X11 pb 0.2 followed by Fink and of course wanted to do

Code:
 /sw/bin/fink install system-xfree86
before anything else. It failed, I'm wondering if it's because Fink doesn't "know about" the new beta of X11. Here is the output:

The following package will be installed or updated:
system-xfree86
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/x11-system/system-xfree86_4.2-5_darwin-powerpc.deb
(Reading database ... 3499 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking system-xfree86 (from .../system-xfree86_4.2-5_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...

- found apple library
- found X plugin includes

- missing /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.dylib
- missing /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.dylib
- missing /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h

Your XFree86 installation is missing or incomplete. Please make sure you have
an XFree86 release installed and retry the installation of the system-xfree86
package.

The following XFree86 software is compatible with system-xfree86:

XonX (from the XFree86 Project):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=18034

Apple X11:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/

Press a key to continue.

X11 Developer Tool?

Perhaps you forgot to install that as well?

Regards,
