Using Apple's X11 is guaranteed to work. There were a few problems among libraries and headers at one point, but those are fixed for OS 10.5.2 (I think) and later, and Xcode 3.1.3 and later. We encouraged people to use Xquartz until all of those problems got fixed. However, that introduced its own problems. XQuartz 2.3.3.2 is the last version which allows in-place upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6, if that's a concern. However, using any later version of XQuartz on 10.5 is still OK--we rely on reports from users for problems, and the fixes are such that they make things more robust for whatever X11 gets used. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2PaGkACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9bhwCfeE9XXOJbJ5Bb4Cz9txyOibIA HRoAn0UrgdCtIrdMHjCdzkpf/9QyKWN/ =rGT5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
