Thanks for your hint about the gimp-app port. I installed this port and now there's the gimp application in the macports folder.

Unfortunately when starting gimp (double click on the application) will crash after some seconds. The menu and the tools are visible for some seconds and then gimp crashes. As well I noticed another window starting with gimp which has the name "gimp-2.6" in the dock, this window will abort as well.

Do you have any idea what's wrong here?

I'm new to macports and run into a problem when installing Gimp on my MacBook Pro 2.2 with OS X 10.5.8.

First I installed macports itself and had no problems with.
Because I don't like X11 I tried gimp2 with the variant no_x11 and quartz, therefore I used the command
sudo port install gimp2 +no_x11 +quartz
http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/gimp2/Portfile

5 or 6 hours later the installation has been finished but there was no gimp application at my macports folder. Because I changed network connection during installation I removed all the stuff again with command
sudo port -f uninstall installed
Next installation ended as well without the application at the macports folder :(

Do I need to install gimp as well or should be gimp2 enough? Is there any other installation needed to get Gimp running without X11?


Welcome to MacPorts!

To install the gimp application, install the port gimp-app in addition to the gimp2 port.

To see what any port installs, use "port contents" (e.g. "port contents gimp2").
