X11 pakages not working

[Zerosignull]

I have downloaded apples x11 implementation and tried to get some of the packages to run from http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/darwinp...orts/en/x11.php

Ive dowloaded all the gtk things installed them and when i install a program like gimp i carnt c it ne where on the hard drive?

Can u help me or point me to a walkthough of how to get this stuff up n running?

Though DarwinPorts installs in /opt/local by default, these packages have been built to install in /usr/local

Just run xterm, browse to /usr/local/ and fire up the appropriate program :)

ive found them now. but when i try to run one of them ny typing in the name of the app like "gimp" it doesnt do ne thing. just tells me "gimp: command not recognised"

well, make sure you're in the directory for the gimp, then try ./gimp . The ./ shows the command prompt to look in the current directory for he file (yeah, i know it's messed up, but it's how things work...)

is there ne way to add a shortcut to gimp; so i can jusr dble click an icon to make it run?

By the way, is there anyway to uninstall gimp and gtk?

re-run the package files to uninstall. the option should be there somewhere...

gimp works much better on my 33mhz mac then it does on me 605mhz pc. It loads up way much faster,after a lengthy first boot thing.
