Gimp and x11 driving me crazy

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.6
I have installed the whole xcodes package per instructions from Apple support from the Tiger Installation disk and have tried to run Gimp 2.2.1 and gotten an error code that says I need X11 which I thought installed with the xcode.
The installed components are in my devloper folder and when I double click Xcode it opens up but no go with Gimp. I have searched the forums and evenn tried some of the suggestions but nothing. All I wanted was a graphics app that was affordable and somewhat easy to use.
Please help the super newbie who does not know the first thing about dev tools.
Thanx.

Wade,
You're brilliant--it worked!
I started it up and X11 starts up with a terminal window (is that normal?)
Gimp went through installation process and looks like it is functioning--yahoo!
Now, one more question--do i need that whole xcodetools.mpkg file too since I now have the X11 app or all they are all working in conjunction with eacother?
I have a small HD so any programs or utilities I don't need I would like to get rid of.
Thanks again!

can you post album straight to facebook? ive been doing one picture at a time, and its driving me crazy, it doesnt do all the picyures then i have to redo it andits taking hours!!

You can, open the Photos App, Open the Album you want to upload, and then Tap on the Edit button at the top right corner.
You can then Tap on the pictures to select them. Once you have all of them selected, tap on the Share button on the top left corner, and then tap on the Facebook icon. This will upload them all together.

Using GIMP and X11

I originally posted this elsewhere in discussions; however this may be a better placement for it.
I use GIMP which requires X11 and recently it has stopped working. I rolled back to an older version of GIMP, installed the Xll upgrade on the Leopard DVD but all to no avail. Right now, GIMP crashes and X11 won't even start when I double click from the applications/utilities folder.
Thanks in advance for any help that any may provide.

Did this coincide with any other changes? (e.g. OS update, software changes...)
I rolled back to an older version of GIMP,
So which versions have you tried? Which package are you using? (There are various pre-packaged versions of GIMP for OS X from different groups.)
installed the Xll upgrade on the Leopard DVD but all to no avail.
So which version of X11 were you using before if not the one from the DVD? There may be updates to this version available from Apple. Is it possible you actually installed the DVD version over the top of a later version? /Library/Receipts may show packages installed for X11 if they were separate packages and not part of more general updates.
Right now, GIMP crashes and X11 won't even start when I double click from the applications/utilities folder.
The former is expected given the latter. What exactly happens when you try to open X11? Do you see any useful messages in the log files? (Look at system.log and console.log using /Applications/Utilities/Console and/or open X11 from Terminal and see what error messages you get.)
Are you on ppc or intel?

Gimp and X11

The download always tells you that it requires X11 and that you shouldn't download the one from the site. So I go on to my OSX Tiger disk and realize that the package is X11SDK.pkg, and everything I keep reading says you need X11User.pkg. I've looked everywhere for it on my own and am now going to ask for some help. Does anyone have any information on this type of problem.

I finally found something that helped. I;m sorry for the post.

Airport extreme keeps dropping connection and its driving me crazy

Alright so I have an airport extreme, and I have been having these "dropping out" problems for a long time now. For about 20 seconds, the internet signal is at maximum strength, then for some reason just completely drops for a few seconds then comes back. So basically if I am doing anything like playing a game online or talking on aim it just drops out for a few seconds then comes back. It's driving me mental.
The airport is not far at all from my computer, and we do have 2.4ghz phones, but over at my other house, we have a linksis wireless setup, and my computer is much farther away and there are also 2.4ghz phones there, and it doesn't drop out at all.
I have tried hard resets, changing the airport channel it's on, downgrading to previous airport versions... I know it's not my computer because it does it with both our macs in the house.
If someone can help me fix this it would be very greatly appreciated.

SOMEONE FROM APPLE PLEASE HELP US!
Well I've got the same issues with an n (WDS Main), two extremes (1 WDS Relay and 1 WDS Remote) and 1 express (WDS Remote). The n keeps logging this (the MAC is of the WDS Relay extreme):
Nov 02 20:27:14 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:11:24:9d:74:91 (reserved 2).
and the WDS Relay keeps logging this (the MAC is of the WDS Main n):
Nov 02 21:01:06 Severity:5 Deauthenticated with station 00:11:24:23:15:d4 (authentication invalidated).
This seems to have begun with a firmware update of the n (7.2.1) and now the n constantly goes from a green status icon in AirPort Utility to an orange one and reports a WDS Error about not finding any other WDS units. Then it switches back to green. At the same time all the base stations disappear from the AirPort Utility and then come back after turning the AirPort on and off on my powerbook menu bar. Cycling the AirPort from the munu bar also restores lost internet connectivity. The actual network connectivity via the WDS network seems to stay up because I have a VOIP box attached to the WDS Remote extreme and don't loose phone service. While I'd like to get the issues reported by the n and the extremes solved at this point I'd settle for finding a way to not loose network connectivity (not the actual AirPort connection) from my PowerBook every 4 or 5 minutes. The syslog on the PowerBook shows:

HT4865 I accidently connected my iphone text to my wifes iphone and its driving her crazy. How do I change that?

So, I downloaded Icloud and somehow I connected my text to my wifes iphone. It's driving her nuts and I cant figure out how to reverse it!!! Help please!

Welcome to the Apple community.
A simple solution can be found at settings> messages> send & receive, uncheck your partners telephone number or email address.
However this has essentially been caused by sharing an apple ID for each of your iCloud accounts, this is not generally recommended and you should consider having your old Apple IDs for iCloud.

When I have Yahoo mail open the tab shows (6 unread) when there are zero unread emails when I do have a unread email it will read 7 for one, 8 for 2 and so on. How do I get zero to read zero on the tab. I can't figure it out and its driving me crazy.

I think this thing read right before I loaded Yahoo Tool Bar so I could use Yahoo Mail as my default. Since then It hasn't been correct. It did read (4 unread) for a while then for some reason it changed to 6.

If that Toolbar is faulty, reloading it probably isn't going to do anything, just disable it and see if that problem goes away.

Music going on and off: Driving me crazy

I'm having a problem with my (2) websites since I started using '09 and that never happened when using iWeb 08'. Most of the pages in my websites have music. What is happening is that, after publishing and seeing my website(s)on the browser, the music disappears from some of the pages. That makes me have to go back activate the music and publish again. This problem started with one of the sites and is now happening in both. When all of this happened first it was on one or two pages and now it's spreading to more of my pages. At first I eliminated the affected page and would build it again but then I realized that it was useless since i had the same problem. By the way I use a different computer for each website with 2 separate MobileMe accounts.Has anyone gone through this? Is there anything that can correct this glitch?

I don't know much about codes but I'll place it here so you can see it. It is one of my poems that was recited by a friend and who wrote the background music. As I stated before, it worked fine until yesterday.

There is something else, one of the websites was made in iWeb 08' but the most recent was created directly in iWeb 09' using a new and different Mac. That one was the one that started acting strangly and about 2 weeks later the other one started to do the same.

HT3702 Apple Apps and Itunes driving me crazy

My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
