[http://www.macports.org/install.php#requirements
www.macports.org/install.php#requirements] includes three sentences about
X11. I skimmed them too fast. So I didn't realize all modern versions of
OS X -- 10.5 "Leopard" and newer -- preinstall X11 by default.
I didn't know where this MacBook's OS X DVD was. So I used MacPorts to
build and install a second copy of X11, not knowing that I already had one
copy installed. I wasted time, disk space, and electricity.
Please remove X11 from the list of MacPorts requirements, so that nobody
else will make the same mistake as me. :)
