I needed to install rmagick/GraphicsMagick on an IntelMac and did so from Darwinports. Some things work and others don''t work, like rendering fonts which needs X11 fonts and X server. The rmagick page at rubyforge points to .. http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningx11.html where X11 link to Apple is broken. X11User.pkg talked about on the page above no longer exists at Apple. Googling found a X11.app which also I wan''t able to find. There is only a XFree86 download I found at Apple which is a .sit archive which has a post date of Aug 2002 and looks highly doubtful. Can some one please tell me howto install X11 on OSX 10.4.6? TIA, -bakk
It should be on your Tiger DVD. Along with Xcode developer tools you will need. Apple''s X11 is also here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html On 5/19/06, Bakki Kudva <bakki.kudva@gmail.com> wrote:> I needed to install rmagick/GraphicsMagick on an IntelMac and did so > from Darwinports.

Jon, Thanks a bunch, don''t know why a search at apple doesn''t bring that link up! -bakki On 5/19/06, Jon Gretar Borgthorsson <jon.borgthorsson@gmail.com> wrote:> It should be on your Tiger DVD.

Thank you for the suggestion Kevin. But I am already on Darwinports. I installed X11 off my DVD as Jon suggested, installed GaphicsMagick, delegate libs, and ghostscript from Darwinports and finally rmagick gem. Now my software is working. I also develop on Debian Sarge workstations where Rails install/development went very smoothly for me. Not knowing OSX at all I had a bit of a learning curve to get every thing setup. -bakki On 19 May 2006 15:00:34 -0000, Kevin Olbrich <devlists-rubyonrails@devlists.com> wrote:> > On Friday, May 19, 2006, at 10:46 AM, Bakki Kudva wrote: > >Jon, > > > >Thanks a bunch, don''t know why a search at apple doesn''t bring that > >link up! > > > >-bakki > > > >On 5/19/06, Jon Gretar Borgthorsson <jon.borgthorsson@gmail.com> wrote: > >> It should be on your Tiger DVD.

Apple really should update it''s pages to say "Looking for X11? It''s no longer available on the website, but you''ll find it on your Tiger DVD".. I too had a similar problem when I first installed Tiger, since when I was using Panther, X11 was a manual download when it first came out.

On the dvd too it was not obvious where x11 was and which installer pkg to fire up. Finally I called Apple and they walked me thro it. Even the tech support guy wasn''t too sure and it took a couple of tries opening up packages. I wish they had a list of apps and which packages they are in some where at the root of the dvd. Or since OSX has such a cool GUI they could list them as you hover over the pkg with your mouse :) -bakki On 5/19/06, Mike Garey <random52k@gmail.com> wrote:> Apple really should update it''s pages to say "Looking for X11?
