As pointed out by Brandon Allbery (thanks Brandon!) there is in fact a 'Users/amy/Library' directory (please forgive my naivete). I can navigate to the .log file in terminal but still do not understand why it cannot move this file. Again, maybe this is a permissions error?
thanks in advance!

Hello all,
I keep getting the same error whenever I try to open XQuartz, which is,
"An error occurred while starting the X11 server: "Cannot move old log
file "/Users/amy/Library/Logs/X11/org.macosforge.xquartz.log" to
"/Users/amy/Library/Logs/X11/org.macosforge.xquartz.log.old"
Click Quit to quit X11. Click Report to see more details or send a
report to Apple."
It appears there is no '/Users/amy/Library' directory. Does anyone
know why it thinks there should be and/or why there isn't one? I'm
thinking maybe it's a permissions error, but I'm logged in as the
administrator, so I'm not sure.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, logging in and out, and
doing a restart of the machine but to no avail. Any suggestions are
greatly appreciated, thanks!
