Hi, all!
I've successfully installed both Inkscape and The Gimp, but how do I run them?
If I type the name on the command line, I get errors.
I don't see icons in the Applications folder.
So now what?
Thanks.
both of these apps need Xwindows running so you need to start an X session, then from the command line:
$ /opt/local/bin/gimp &
and/or
$ /opt/local/bin/inkscape &
(i assume you are using the darwin|macports defaults for install location ;o)
OK, so how do I start X Windows / start an X11 session? What window manager does OS X use, then? -- Jeffery Martin 512-680-0343 cell 512-838-3714 work Links of the moment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Mary's_County,_Maryland http://www.stanns.org/
