Run the Ion Window Manager under Apple's X11
If you want to build and install the ion-2 window manager, you will need to do a few extra steps to get it to work with OS X. What follows is greatly abbreviated and is for people who know what this stuff means.

Argh. Apparently I don't know what I'm doing. There is a "dlcompat" problem here since ion-2 is more modular and uses old unix style dynamic linking to load the modules. Anyone know how to diagnose and fix this:

I enabled the unstable packages via finkcommander and still didn't see it. I felt like reinstalling fink anyway so I went ahead and did that and tried again and now it's there. That was kind of odd. |
