Hi!

GIMP needs a platform on the Mac called X11. Thats the usual way how GIMP works on MAC.

You'll should find a GIMP icon in your program folder (in the finder).

The virtual external drive is also a normal thing and appears everytime you install any program on your mac.

Just get to know to your new environment and you will see that this are not GIMP specific questions but Mac-questions ;)

enjoy, t.

Betreff: [Gimp-user] What happened to GIMP 2.6?

Hi all, I'm trying to switch from PC to iMac and having all sorts of trouble. Last night I downloaded a copy of GIMP 2.6 and had it running on my iMac. It seemed to come with some other application called "X11" which I can still see in Finder today but can't work out what it does. However I can't find any trace of GIMP 2.6. Last night it appeared to be on a virtual external drive, from which I couldn't create a shortcut on the desktop. Today it's vanished. Can anyone help me out here? Is there some part of the install that I've missed?

Hi,

if you want to habe more backgroung: MacIS sets up in Linux. X11 comes from UNIX-World. If you ever heard the expression X-Server, X11 is your friend.

Enjoy it.

Merry Christmas

I saw your post when you first posted it, but I'd hoped someone far more knowledgeable would post a reply regarding X11.

And, I'm not that expert. lol

I couldn't get Gimp or Inkscape to run on my Mac. Both apps require X11. I got help at the following locations:

http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/News/News.html http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo2 http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki

I would start with the lists.apple.com, that's where I got the answer to my problem.

Apparently, there is some relationship between X11 and Xquartz, but I don't understand it at all.

Good luck.
