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/
