This will give you a list of the "X" programs you installed. At
least
some of these will look like this:
xorg-libX11 @1.2_0+system_x11 (active)
See the "+system_x11" tag? For each port (program) with a
"+system_x11" tag do this:
sudo port -d deactivate xprogram+system_x11
where xprogram equals the name of the program.
then reinstall each of the programs leaving off the "+system_x11"
tag, for example
sudo port -d install xorg-libX11
Thank you very much William!
Your hints were right, and my macports system is ok again. All
+system_x11 variants (also the line in variants.conf) are deactivated
and reinstalled. I used grep and awk to get a script to do so
according
your description.
I thank also Jeremy Huddleston to shed some light on the macports
system. I use macports on Tiger 10.4.11 PPC, and if I gonna switch to
leopard I'll try his propoasal to install macports with the Xquartz
Server from apple. I think that is not an option for me with tiger.
xdvi etc. are working again, but xpdf gives new error messages (but no
longer X related.):
You may have some lingering applications linking against the wrong
libs. Do a quick check using:
cd /opt/local/lib
for f in *dylib; do otool -L $f | grep -q /usr/X11 && echo $f; done
cd /opt/local/bin
for f in *; do otool -L $f | grep -q /usr/X11 && echo $f; done
If nothing is output, you're golden. Otherwise you should uninstall
the ports providing the files that are echoed back and reinstall them.

Yeah, I get most of that... /shrug ... xpdf still works.
I'm using X11.app from apple as an xserver, because startx doesn't
work:
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no
server "/opt/local/bin/X" in PATH
Is this as expected?
Don't use startx. Install the xorg-server port and just launch /
Applications/MacPorts/X11.app
Still, I'm concerned that you don't have /opt/local/bin/X ... did you
install the xorg-server port? If you want "all" of X, you should run:
sudo port -v install xorg
This will give you the latest X11 apps, X11 server, HW-accelerated
GLX, and the latest quartz-wm... basically exactly what is available
from http://xquartz.macosforge.org for Leopard, but you're able to
build it for Tiger (well I built the quartz-wm since it's closed
source, but everything else you build).
I hope that helps,
Jeremy
