Nothing in this output indicates that X11 is not running. Don't you see the xterm window that was created? > If I run gimp-2.6, the only thing that happens is that my hard drive > thrashes with activity. Do I need to install a special fink-based X11? No, there isn't any fink-based X11 for MacOSX 10.5 or later. How long did you wait? If I remember correctly, at the first start of gimp, there may be some font cache building going on which can take up to a couple of minutes. Afterwards it will start faster. If anything untoward is going on, you should see it mentioned in the console output (/Applications/Utilities/Console.app). Watch out for recent crash logs, also in Console. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
