OK, this time the message lied. This means that you don't have an X11 distribution installed. There currently isn't one in the binary distribution, so you have a couple of options: 1) install Apple's X11 (the runtime parts [X11User.pkg] are in the optional package install section of your OS media and the headers--which you'll need if you want ever to build anything X11-related from source--come with XCode. You may even have the headers installed already but not the runtime part) 2) Install the Fink xfree86 or xorg packages from source. <snip> -- Alexander K.
