Hi!
I tried to install X11 from a Leopard DVD because I need it for macports. As I didn't have my DVD with me, I borrowed the Leopard DVD from a friend which he bought earlier.
Unfortunately, X11 simply doesn't work (I double klick it, but nothing happens) so I wanted to reinstall it with my own DVD (the one that shipped with my MacBook Pro). But once I started the installer, I can no longer select X11 - I can however select all the other applications.
The funny part: I can still install X11 through the Leopard DVD from my friend.
What's going on here? How can I install X11 from the DVD the shipped with my MacBook Pro?
I also tried to "uninstall" X11 first ... no easy task, as there are a few different how-to's out there. I simply dragged the X11 from Applications/Utilities into the trash and deleted the following from command line:
sudo rm /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.X11
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6
(some tutorials mentioned a /etc/X11 directory, but I don't have it)
Thanks,
Patrick
