I want to use an X11-based application and need the X11 server to be
running. However, I can't find the X11.app icon in Applications or
Applications/Utilities.
I've downloaded both:
- X11User.dmg - which tells me a newer version of X11 is already
installed,
and
- X11Update2006.dmg - which tells me an identical application is
already
installed.
Not managing to get anywhere with this - searched the digest for
related
info, but didn't find anything - hoping someone can give me a
hint. If I
need to reinstall X11.app, can you tell me how to remove enough of
the files
such that OS X doesn't stop the reinstallation? (I'd use AppZapper,
but
can't as I don't have the X11.app icon...)
Insert the first Mac OS X installation disc that shipped with your
machine.
Navigate to /System/Installation/Packages
Run X11User.pkg. This will (re)install X11 appropriate to your
version of Mac OS X.
If you had X11 installed before, it's probably also a good idea to
remove /Library/Receipts/X11* so things don't get out of sync.
After this is complete, I would re-run Software Update to install any
X11 update that may be necessary.
