X11

[sappleton]

i am trying to install nicotine for mac and have been asked to install programs called x11 and x11sdk, ive been told that having tiger 10.4 these would already be on my mac, ive found x11sdk but not x11, ive tried downloading x11 from a site but when i try installing it it says i have newer software already on it for that program, any ideas?

'... ive been told that having tiger 10.4 these would already be on my mac ...' - you were incorrectly informed. 'X11' is an optional, actually 'customize' install. Did you, or the supposedly knowledgeable person, explicitly do such?
If not, the answer is obvious - you must install such via the provided or retail copy of MacOS X 10.4 installation DVD or CD set (you cannot download 'X11' for 'Tiger').

ive put the installer cd and click on Xcode tools, then packages, all I can see is X11SDK but not X11, ive been told to install both

X11 is not a part of Xcode. As barhar told you, it is an optional part of the MacOS X 10.4 installation. Do as he said. Insert your MacOS X 10.4 primary installation disk and to a customized installation. Select only X11. You don't have to install other stuff, except for X11 SDK, which I gather you have installed already.
