Hi Jens,

I can't actually solve your problem with fink, but I was unable to 
build dx on my powerbook a while back.  I resorted to building the new 
version, but it is now installed in /usr/local.  I am pasting below the 
letter I sent a while back, in case this might help you out.

Cheers,
Charles

p.s.  Note that I'm using fink's XFree86 rather than Apple's X11, so 
this might not work for you.  It would be interesting to see if it 
does, though.
