Dear All,

I have recently installed macports on my mac book pro Mac OX platform 10.5.8 to run the Gimp software as recommend by Gimp. I must admit I am not that much of a techie and I have found the whole process a bit bewildering. Eg I have never used the terminal before, not even certain which terminal to use, I think it's the installed with my OX platform.

Heres what I have downloaded so far

X11             version                 2.1.6   installed under 
aplications/utilities

Xcode   version         3               installed in developer folder


Macports installed yesterday, so I gues it must be the lateast version

When I type into the mac terminal -tcish-80x24  


sudo port install gimp as instructed on the gimp web site this is what I get.

when I tried to download the latest version of Xcode from the mac web site it won't let me download it as I don't have the 10.6 platform

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as at the moment I don't really have a clue as to what to do, and am completely out of my depth.


Kind Regards


John Essam
