X11 & New MBP?

[tr401]

Hello,

I have a new MBP with a factory OS load. I'm trying to get AquaEthereal up and running. I understand that I need X11 and the XCode development tools. I've installed the latest XCode 2.3 tools and tried to load X11 from my Tiger CD (for a PB), but I didn't see anything on the disks that came with my MBP.

The X11 package starts and then errors out with an error about missing fonts.

I've searched and searched and haven't seen that anyone else is having X11 issues on their MBP. Any pointers as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

X11 should be installed in Applications-->Utilities if it was properly installed. This is where 10.4.6 (which is what I'm running on my iMac G5) places it. It doesn't matter if you're running on a PPC or x86 Mac, the location should be the same in Tiger (actually, I believe it's been in that location since Apple's X11 was introduced into Mac OS X).

What you might want to do is find outwhich fonts are required for said application to work. Once you have that, it's just a matter of installing that font and off you go. This might be a simplistic solution, but it's a start. If there are any other problems, we can take it from there.
