GIMP Help

hey guys, i am trying to but GIMP on my 1st gen macbook with tiger... after it downloads and i try and open it, a message comes up saying that it requires apple x11. I have searched for this update and after downloading this my computer says it already has this update.... am i doing something wrong or is GIMP destined to not work on my computer. Thanks a lot in advance

You need to install X11 from your original Tiger install discs.

On Install Disc 1, open the Optional Installs package:



Select Applications>X11



Then click update. Once it's finished you will have X11.

The current Gimp for OS X on Tiger also require 10.4.11. You'll need to make sure Tiger is up to date.

You'll also need to make sure you have downloaded the proper version of Gimp, whether for PPC or for Intel.
