What version of X11 are you trying to install? Please install the latest release from http://xquartz.macosforge.org

If that does not fix the problem, please take a look at your system.log (Open Console.app) and report the error messages that are being reported for X11

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the list, but not new to Aple and X11, however, this is the first problem I've had with X11 and so I joined up to try and find a solutions (as I haven't been able to find one on various searches ont he internet).

A few months ago, I had a hard drive failure. I had the hard drive replaced and had recovered as much data as possible form the failed hard drive.

The technicians who worked on my system, instead of just handing me my data back and letting me re-install the OS and fix everything myself on the new hard drive, decided to try and reconstruct the system themselves, including my user profile.

Everything mostly worked, apart form one or two minor issues which i was able to fix.

Eventualy, I got an external hard drive, and now use Time Machine.

I needed to install Windows via Boot-Camp for a particular program that is WIndows only, so I used an external hard drive for Time Machine, backed everything up, reformatted, re-installed, restored from the Time Machine backup, and installed X11.

I also have the Developer Tools installed.

Unfortunately, now when I try to start X11, it just continually restarts. In the process list it starts, stops, and restarts with a new PID.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing X11, and that did not work.

Any suggestions?

Anestis.
