Eric,
I'm kind of hosed now. I downloaded X11 1.1.3 from the
apple/support/downloads site you mentioned and got X11Update2006.dmg
which contains X11Update2006.pkg. When I double-click the .pkg file,
I get a window entitled 'Install X11 Update 2006' and then an Alert
which says "This system does not need this update" and the only option
it gives me is to close the Alert window. No way to force the
install. I closed the window and nothing happens. So I went ahead
and deleted all remnants of X11 1.0 by doing the following:
rm -rf /etc/X11
rm -rf /usr/X11R6
rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app
and tried the install 1.1.3 again and it still failed with the same
alert. So now I have no X11 app on my system. I suppose I can try to
reinstall X11 1.0 but I would rather try to get 1.1.3 installed. Any
ideas?
BTW, I downloaded the files from the anonymous ftp site you mentioned
as well and it contains about 50 files. If you think I should
install X11 from there, how do I do that? I could use some help
since now I can't run OpenOffice 2.0 either.
You should not have to download anything to upgrade to X11 1.1.3 with
MacOSX 10.4. The download you received may be for MacOSX 10.3 (Panther).
You are correct in removing all of the files for X11 and then installing
them again. Then use Software Update to see if X11 appears on the list.
