Installing GAP on GIMP for Mac

I am trying to install the GIMP Animation Package for on GIMP, but all my attempts have been unsuccessful.

So far, the only real copy of the GAP that I have found was on MacPorts, labeled as "gimp-gap." I installed that, but it had no effect on my GIMP.

I am using GIMP 2.8.10 downloaded from gimp.org as both "gimp" and "gimp-app" from MacPorts couldn't even launch.

Does anyone know why my GAP isn't plugging into my GIMP or where I can download one that will? I am just trying to do simple video -> gif + some editing that I am familiar with on GIMP.

GAP requires X11 to function. Therefore you need a version of Gimp for X11.
Do you have X11 installed? XQuartz

Do I download it from that link?

That link opens a web page with download links on it.

Yup, right where it says "Quick Download".
Then you can install Gimp and GAP from MacPorts (or Fink).

I can still install GIMP from gimp.org, though, right?

No, that version is a stand alone app. You need the one from MacPorts.

Do I install gimp or gimp-app from MacPorts?

Not sure. Right off the top of my head I would say gimp.
Gimp-app sounds like an app that lives in /Applications instead of /opt/bin or wherever MacPorts keeps binaries now.
