It is really great to see this under active development at the moment. Go Jeremy!
There is so much progress on this app suddenly, now that a true community has been built around the Mac version, that it's almost making me dizzy. What a change of pace, compared to what came before. Things couldn't be better for X11.
That's really weird Marcus. I installed the developer tools before I installed X11 and X11 installed perfectly fine for me...
@marcus:
You should install the X11 package from the Tiger DVD.
Run the Optional Installs.mpkg and select Applications -> X11 from the installer.
Since I installed the developer tools first, this package thinks there is a newer version installed, even tho there's nothing in Utilities, and refuses to install. Anyone know an easy way around this?
essential for using a myriad of scientific programs from IDL to plotting programs like grace. Anyone who also works with UNIX uses this. They should make it more obvious on where on the Tigre disc one can find it and install it. It's not installed by default.
what's fink lacking?
Darwinports, fink is quite lacking in comparison.
Thank You, Apple. The world of software this opens is amazing. Try Fink or Darwinports.
