I have X11 that came with Panther installed on my system. It worked fine when it was first installed but has now started to crash immediately after opening.

The 2 things I have installed which have probably caused this are: Fink-0.6.2 & x11extension0.92.


I have uninstalled the 2 pieces of software but this makes no difference, x11 still crashes.

This is what I get in the Console log:

XFree86 Version 4.3.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1440x900 @ (0,0)
Quitting XDarwin...

Also when I open the Terminal now I get this extra line

-bash: /sw/bin/init.sh: No such file or directory

I'm no unix expert (just started learning). Could anybody point me in the right direction to x11 working again as i don't really want to do a full re-install of panther again.

Thanks Jason

x11extension needs to go. That was for Jaguar and from the date it looks like it preceded the beta x11 release from Apple. You need to figure out how it got installed and what else may have been installed by the same process.

It is easy to delete the entire /sw directory if fink was installed incorrectly.

There is a lot of info on fink's site. Browse there. I pick up a lot of extra stuff while looking for a solution to a problem. Here is a site http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/fink/ that is excellent.

Thanks for the help Craig.

I deleted the SW directory and reinstalled without the x11extention.

Works fine now



Great link too
