Help please!

I have been having problems getting xwindows working.

I installed mac x11, then fink, then tried to install x11 again. I don't see 11.app anywhere. I try to command line "startx" and get this:

Code: 
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  no server "X" in PATH

Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin is in your path and
that "X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display.  Possible server names include:

    XFree86     XFree86 displays
    XDarwin         Darwin/Mac OS X IOKit displays
    XDarwinQuartz   Mac OS X Quartz displays
    XDarwinStartup  Auto-select between XDarwin and XDarwinQuartz

giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

There seems to be two different packages for X11 I can remember what's the difference but to get the icon in your application folder go here http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/ and download the 40 some MB file.

Hope that helps.

He is right - you may have downloaded the SDK file - I did and I thought I was going nuts. The actual link for downloading X11 on Apple's page isn't the one with the "download" text link (nooo, that would make too much sense), it is actually the image icon of X11 above the SDK download.
