Gimp for mac os 10.4.11 update#

(Panther versions or old versions from XQuartz Project). and there are some versions of X11 which won't run. But please remember, there might be software out there which have an 'X11' in there filename, but which you don't need to run GIMP. Well, if you know what you're doing, that'll be alright. I decided to ignore your advice on NOT downloading stuff from the net GIMP will not run, because you have the Panther X11 installed and not Tiger's X11 and did not run a Software Upadte after installing Tiger's X11. Sorry, but everything behaves as expected. unless you know exactly what you're doing) And as i always recommend: never download any X11 from anywhere on the net (.

Why? This is an update to the Tiger version of X11.

Again, first install X11 from Tiger's Installation DVD, then run a Software update. Yes, because there are no updates for the Panther version of X11. As I've written many times, if you run Tiger you need to install X11 separately from your Installation DVD (the DVD with Tiger on it) It's there because you've had Panther installed on your system and after you've upgraded to Tiger, this Panter X11 is still there. I thought I'd add this comment to your story, to give people another possibility of getting things to work and not lose hope, as I almost did. I followed this link, that led me to this Chris James Martin's website.ДЄfter downloading the ZIPfile and installing both SDK and User packages, I reinstalled GIMP (which deleted before running the X11 packages) and it worked! (Though I still have to actually work with the programme, it did start up) So what's going here?Д«eing a bit stubborn, I decided to ignore your advice on NOT downloading stuff from the net. It said it couldn't install because it was already installed. Then I tried updating via downloading the update (1.1.3) from the apple site. And also new that I had it, because i ran OpenOffice on it before. And friend helped me out, but he installed Tiger on it (so I don't have those disks).Д«efore installing GIMP i read through the read me file and checked wether I had X11. But after a while, I needed/wanted to reformat my HD. Once upon a long ago, I bought a PB G4 with Panther installed (and still have those disks). It makes things a lot easier for idiots like me.

I would like to share my experience with installing your GIMPpackage on OSX 10.4.11.ДЇirst of all, Simone, thanks for your softwarepackage.
