Hello,
I finally tried to update by following the standard route, that is just running the SL installer on top of my existing Leopard installation. I have now a working Snow Leopard system with many (probably all) of the old Leopard applications still working, including the PowerPC ones (I installed Rosetta also).
As expected, I ended up with the default X11 in my Utilities folder. I downloaded and installed XQuartz-2.7.0 and tried to launch XQuartz. It crashes but it does not end there. It enters an infinite loop of self-launching and crashing. To recover from this situation a logout is necessary. Same with the default X11.
So I am not still to the point to check and update the X11
applications that I had compiled in the past but just getting XQuartz (or X11) launch properly.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks,
Pierre
