When I go to install the file downloaded from Apple called X11user.pkg, I get to the point where it asks me where I want to put it, but when I select Mac HD, it tells me that "newer software already exists on my computer".
When I try to run GIMP, I get a message that it requires X11, which it claims I don't have. It says: Failed to start X11 Gimp.app requires X11 to run I tried using the OS X disk to install it, and it installed something, but it apparently wasn't what Gimp was looking for. What should I do? |

EDIT: Basically I just want to know exactly how to get gimp running on OS X 10.4. The instructions are a bit hard to understand and I feel lost... how do you do it?

I'm pretty sure the downloadable package from Apple is only good for OS X 10.3. If you're running Tiger, you'll need to pull it off your install DVDs.
Edit: See this thread. |

Copied from another thread. Someone else has done this and still has not found the X11.app in the Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities folder. Let us know if this still doesn't work:
OS X installer disk 1: Scroll down to reveal more items than in the default screen Optional Installs.mpkg Screen 1: Welcome Screen 2: License Screen 3: Destination Screen 4: Custom Install Expand the Applications package |

I forgot about this, I eventually got mine to work. I think that I wasn't looking in the right place to find X11. I kept downloading metapackages and not putting them in the right place. I got it to work though, so just keep trying..
I see X11 show up in my applications>utilities folder, so try moving it there? |
