I am having a problem running gimp with Leopard. At first I thought it was the standard x11 supplied by apple, but I see similar behavior with the 2.2.0_rc1 version. The version of gimp is 2.2

Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib Referenced from: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.2.dylib Reason: Incompatible library version: libXft.2.dylib requires version 5.0.0 or later, but libfontconfig.1.dylib provides version 2.0.0

Dyld is in fact lying here: It is not /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib that is too old, but Gimp's own /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib.

This error will go away of you replace the latter, which is a symlink to libfontconfig.1.0.4.dylib, by a symlink to the X11 libfontconfig:

ln -sf /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib

(this is all in one line).

For good measure, do the same for libiconv.2.dylib:

ln -sf /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/libiconv.2.dylib

Then, if you are lucky, your Gimp.app will start up.
