/opt/local is typically MacPorts, not brew (brew installs mostly in /usr/local, and MacPorts prefers that possibly conflicting programs NOT be installed in /usr/local).
I have XQuartz 2.8.1 from https://www.xquartz.org on currently updated (not beta) Intel Monterey (the only Monterey I have is a VM under Parallels), and it works fine, whether I start it first by clicking on the XQuartz icon, or whether I start it on demand by running an X11 program from Terminal (or iTerm2 or whatever). One can install X11.app from MacPorts (ends up in /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app) as well. I don’t have that on Monterey, but I have both on Catalina, and one can even run both at once (they have different DISPLAY variable values, only one of which can be preset depending on what LaunchDaemon startups are enabled I guess). Sometimes it’s claimed that MacPorts is more current; but depending on when I’ve checked, that’s not really been an issue, and the “simplest” case for comparison with most people is probably using what’s on www.xquartz.org. Maybe you need to uninstall/reinstall XQuartz; or maybe it’s something else. But it CAN work. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
