This is my first time trying to use my new MBP to write a program. As a school assignment I downloaded some source code with a makefile(that will work on OSX).

When I try to compile the program using the makefile that is provided, I get makedepend command not found. Then I asked the TA, "whats going on?". He replied I need to install
X11 for it, but I already have X11(And when I tried to dl and install the version on internet it
saids I have a newer version so it's unable to install).

How do I fix it so I can compile this program with this makefile?

It could be that your X11 install isn't complete. See if the file:

/usr/X11R6/bin/makedepend

exists on your system. If not, then you should probably delete the X11.app and reinstall. If it does exist, your problem is likely that /usr/X11R6/bin is not in $PATH. Something like:

$ PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
$ make

may fix the problem.

I do have
/usr/X11R6/
but it doesn't contain a bin directory.
So as I was trying to delete X11.app file. I can't find it or I don't have it.
How can I delete X11 and reinstall?
Thanks.

You don't need to delete it to reinstall. The X11 app to run stuff is on the OS installer disk. However, to build stuff, you need to do a custom install when you install the developer tools. From there, you can enable the X11 developer tools.

Otherwise, you can install XFree86, or Xorg manually, or via fink.
