#44498: GIMP-APP fails to launch ----------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: marga07@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gimp gimp2 gimp-app | ----------------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by devans@…): GIMP uses X11 by default and it looks like you don't have it installed. From ML on, OS X no longer installs X11 by default. You have several options. * Install XQuartz (latest version is 2.7.6 available [http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ here] as a dmg) * Install port xorg-server or xorg-server-devel, which comes from the same code base but may be a more recent version and is updated more often. In either case, after installing the X11 server you need to log out and log back in again. After this, gimp should work for you. Let me know if this solves the problem for you. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44498#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
