X11 problem

[nixgeek]

If you follow what ElDiabloConCaca says, you should be able to install just the X11 package. This is how I've done it in the past.

yeah, but since I've already installed the whole ball of wax... isn't it already installed? (Or SHOULDN'T it already be installed?)

[bradbaxter]

Okay, I just went and did as you said. I did a custom install... only installed the checkbox item for x11.

Then, I went into Applications>Utilities. Didn't find it.
Then, started Inkwell program.... again, it couldn't find it either. Next?

Could this have ANYTHING to do with my system being Pentium powered?

Out of curiosity, what kind of Mac do you have? I'm asking since you never told any of us your system specs. Is this even a Mac or are you doing this with one of the OSx86 installs on a regular PC?

since I started this thread it seems that several other people are having the same troubled as I am getting X11 to work, or rather finding it at all!
As I said earlier, I have given up trying to load "the Gimp" etc. and found other apps that run all by themselves.
But there still seems to be a general problem that it would be useful to resolve.

Here's the link for Panther users:

According to that page, Tiger users should have it in the install discs.

Bradbaxter, we're still waiting for the specs on your system. Is this an Intel Mac or a PC hacked to run OSx86?

just put in your osx disk and do a custom install of just x11. should be fine then.

This was mentioned before, but apparently those people in the thread having this problem have already done this. I had even mentioned it as well, but apparently it's not working for them.
