I upgraded to Mountain Lion when it was first available, and as you know, X11 stopped working with Xcode and Intel Fortran compiler. There was a brief appearance of a message that said to download Xquartz, move a file and rename it so it looked like X11. I was not quick enough to write it down and have not seen the message again since.

 Can someone help me to get X11 working again? Thanks in advance.

 Also, I am not a very good systems programmer, so taking me through the solution in detail would not offend me.


Just trying to start X11 should get you it (a dialog telling you to install XQuartz, and it should even offer to download and install it for you). Or you can just go to http://xquartz.macosforge.org and download the DMG file, then open it and doubleclick the mpkg to install.  I don't think anything is needed beyond installing the package; the XQuartz package knows how to rearrange things to replace the stub X11 in Mountain Lion.

You will have to reboot (or at least log out and back in) after installing it, but the installer will remind you about that.
