Gimp will not open. I tried reinstalling it, but that didn't help. I tried reinstalling X11/XQuartz, logging out of my account, restarting my computer, but it still won't open.

If the concept applies to OSX: start from a command prompt with a --verbose parameter, you may find what it is doing when it hangs. And check your plugins directory in your personal profile (or even more radically, get rid of your personal profile after backing up anything of interest: brushes, gradients, etc... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi there. I was going to suggest something similar to what ofnuts said, but wasn't sure if it would work on a Mac. I have access to a mac with OS X 10.5.8 with gimp 2.6.11 and did some poking around.

What happens if you start X11 by itself first? ( in finder you can click on /Applications/Utilities/X11.app)

If that works then open a terminal window and type:

/Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/MacOS/Gimp --verbose

Then copy what is on the terminal window and post it in a reply.

If X will not start I have some other ideas. Let us know what happens when you try these suggestions.

Cheers,

After downloading, instead of clicking the icon (the animal head), drag it into Applications (on Finder). Then click it to install and open the program.

(Perhaps someone could add a note saying that to show when the icon is first clicked....)
