which I can still see in Finder today but can't work out what it does. However
I can't find any
trace of GIMP 2.6. Last night it appeared to be on a virtual external drive,
from which I couldn't create a shortcut on the desktop. Today it's vanished.
Can anyone help me out here? Is there some part of the install that I've missed?
I saw your post when you first posted it, but I'd hoped someone far
more knowledgeable would post a reply regarding X11.
And, I'm not that expert. lol
I couldn't get Gimp or Inkscape to run on my Mac. Both apps require
X11. I got help at the following locations:
http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/News/News.html
http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo2
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki
I would start with the lists.apple.com, that's where I got the answer to
my problem.
Apparently, there is some relationship between X11 and Xquartz, but I
don't understand it at all.
Good luck.
