X11-Error installing wireshark, using Apple's X11
Dear list, I've just searched the list archives for a similar problem and came up with http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007- April/002294.html. The error-message I receive is absolutely the same, the only difference is that I'm not actually trying to install XFree86, as I have Apples X11 already installed. I checked /Library/ Receipts, and both the X11User.pkg and the X11SDK.pkg are installed... Can anybody please give me pointer in the right direction? As a side note, I used to have Fink installed on my system, but then removed it following the provided instructions, so I think this should be OK, or is it possible that this is related? Also, I can start /Applications/ Utilities/X11.app without any problems. Thank you! Sebastian

So... you're also getting the error message that "/usr/X11R6/bin/ appres already exists and does not belong to a registered port"? What port is being activated at the time?

Oh, so you meant you're not *intentionally* installing XFree86. You are, however, still installing XFree86, and it is the attempted activation of XFree86 that is producing the error message. Yves: It's unfortunate that it prints out a friendly message explaining why XFree86 will not work, but then proceeds to download and compile the universe anyway and finally ends with the hard-to- understand error message anyway. It would be better for it to exit after discovering and informing the user about the initial problem. Sebastian: Do you have /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib? I believe that's the file that's being looked for by the ports you're installing, and it should be there as part of Apple's X11. If it's not there, reinstall X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg. I know you said you already have them installed, but maybe the installation got damaged somehow. Reinstalling from the original packages would ensure it's working correctly. Unless you want to use XFree86 instead, which you could do. In that case, do what the message says and move /usr/X11R6 out of the way first, or delete it. If you go this route, delete the X11 receipts too, and X11.app.

Hi Ryan, I'd rather not install XFree86, as I'm using Apple's X11 for other things as well, and I'd hate to somehow mess that up... The libX11.6.dylib is present on my system, and it's also not zero size (I checked for the obvious "damaged file"-case)... Where can I get the most current X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg-files from? Thanks Sebastian

For Mac OS X 10.4: X11User.pkg should be here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11update2006113.html It says it requires an existing X11 install, so you may have to install X11User.pkg from your Mac OS X 10.4 install DVD/CD first. Or it may be ok with what you have on your hard drive now. X11SDK.pkg is part of Xcode 2.4.1 which you download from Apple Developer Connection. For Mac OS X 10.3: X11User.pkg is here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html Xcode 1.5 is the last version that works with Mac OS X 10.3 and X11SDK.pkg should be a part of that.

Thanks a lot, it works now! After some problems with gtk-warnings that I could solve thanks to google, wireshark actually runs :) But I still have question... I have to open Terminal, and then type "open-x11 wireshark". When I launch X11 directly, my .profile is ignored somehow... I found on Apple's website that the X11-app uses the same settings as the application that launched it, so is there a way to force it to use .profile? I hope this didn't sound totally confused... Thanks Sebastian
