Hi, Is there an uninstaller for XQuartz? I ask because I've switched to installing it from macports and I want to make sure I remove the remnants from /usr (and wherever) so as to not confuse things. Cheers! Frank Schima
MacPorts doesn't conflict with the xquartz.macosforge.org version. Additionally, the MacPorts version doesn't work with the launchd DISPLAY (by design... I sent an email to the macports-users list a couple weeks back if you want to change that). As long as you don't enable the +system_x11 variant, MacPorts shouldn't get confused. If MacPorts *DOES* use it, then it's a bug. Let me know, and I'll fix it in a timely manner. None of the ports I use link against /usr/X11 libs. If you end up removing /usr/X11, then you risk problems with pre-built downloads (like gimp.app or wireshark.app or ...). The "uninstaller" is: sudo pkgutil --unlink org.x.x11.pkg but that may leave some font cache files, so this is a bit more thurough: sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app /usr/X11* /System/Library/ Launch*/org.x.* --Jeremy On Mar 15, 2009, at 21:18, Frank Schima wrote:

Actually, you can probably get around that by doing: sudo ln -s /opt/local /usr/X11 sudo ln -s /opt/local /usr/X11R6
The "uninstaller" is: sudo pkgutil --unlink org.x.x11.pkg
I take it back. Don't do that. That will delete quartz-wm and libXplugin.dylib (which you still need ;>)
but that may leave some font cache files, so this is a bit more thurough: sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app /usr/X11* /System/ Library/Launch*/org.x.*
Just do this ^^^^ You probably also want to delete /etc/*paths.d/X11
