x11 Refuses To Install?

I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm trying to run Darwine, but whenever I try it tells me x11 is not installed.

obviously, my next move was to head on over to apple and download x11, but when I run the installer file it tells me that a newer version is already on my machine.

How can I wipe any existing version of x11 off of my machine and reinstall it?

In case it's important, it's a Macbook running OSX 10.5.6.

No, that is not your obvious next move. The version of X11 for your machine is installed on your machine. If it is not there, then it is on your System Restore disc.
 
I don't think Apple offers the right version of X11 for Leopard on their web site. You need to get it from your OS X installation CD.

Or, if you want to live on the cutting edge, you can install XQuartz, the community-supported version of X11 for Leopard, which is based on newer builds than Apple's official version. I've used it and can't tell the difference (which I guess is a good thing).
 
I was under the impression that X11 was already included by default in Leopard installations. I've set up some new iMacs recently with Leopard preinstalled and they both had X11 included. Could it be that Darwine is having problems under Leopard?
