Just for the record, and because this does not seem to be explicitly written anywhere: There are currently two (and only two) ways to get a correctly working X11 back on Leopard: 1) If you are still running 10.5 or 10.5.1 and you need to reinstall X11, then install first X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg from the system DVD. These two are installed by default with the system and with Xcode, but this version of X11 is basically unusable in this form. You need to run the 10.5.2 update (which has an update for part of X11) to get a usable system. Then install the 2.1.4 update from the macosforge site to get some more bug fixes. 2) If you are already on 10.5.2 and you have to reinstall X11, then you need to use the following procedure: Install X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg from the system DVD. Then install the 2.1.2 (or 2.1.3) update from the macosforge site. This gives you an X11 system that is more or less equivalent to what you get from the MacOSX 10.5.2 update. Only then install the 2.1.4 update. What has to be avoided is to install the 2.1.4 update directly on top of the 10.5.0 X11 version, because this gives non-working headers. It will give an X11 version that runs correctly as long as you don't want to compile anything that uses X11, but for Fink's purposes it is unsuitable. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
