x11?????

Post by janthos »

Hi everyone. I have downloaded INkscape (which took forever on my
computer)so I can use it with SCAL, and when I open it, I get a pop up window asking me "where
is x11?" I have googled this, and either I am not understanding it or
something, b/c I don't know what that is. I am running a Mac
PowerBook, g4, v. 10.4.11
I downloaded the x11 update 2006 okg., which it alerted me that my
computer doesn't need that---so I apparently have x11, but Inkscape
isn't recognizing it?
Anyone have this problem??? I don't know what to do........I am very
frustrated. Usually I can "google" tech probs, and find out how to fix
it. I haven't been able to this time....HELP!

thanks---looks like I need to find my installer disc----If i'm understanding correctly, I can't do the Quartz x11, b/c I don't have a Mac that can run windows--this is the "old school" mac:-) before intel mac

I finally got x11 working--I had to use the install disc that came with my mac, b/c it's considered an "extra optional " install. Nonetheless, got it installed, updated, and now I can FINALLY use inkscape--yea!!1
Thank You Susan--I was able to figure it out thanks to your links:-)
