 I can find a  version of the X11 libraries  in

 start X11 from a terminal command line I get -
 "Couldn't exec /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz: No such file or directory"


That's because your /usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz is probably now in /Previous
Systems/Previous System 1/usr/X11R6/bin/Xquartz.  X11.app requires things to
be in specific locations.  Move the previous installation back to its
original location and you should be good to go.


I did try this - and looked for the an X11R6 folder in the archived "previous system" material & other bits and bobs in various places as specified by my original X11 release notes. However as a word of warning to others it seems that the "archive & install" option system installer on the official Apple Panther cd does not preserve a copy of all additions that a user may have made to their system folder.


For information the advice provided by Dave Schroeder worked and I am now up and running again. Many thanks to all who made suggestions so promptly.
