Re: [Bug-gnubg] Installing and using X11 alongside Gnu Backgammon on Tiger.

[Michael Petch]

It has been a long time since I installed Tiger, however you should be able to do it via the installer on the Tiger DVD using these instructions:

If that doesn;t work you can download the X11 packages here:

http://idt.lcc.gatech.edu/~cmartin9/files/X11Tiger.zip

This zip file contains X11User.pkg  and the SDK. In theory you don’t need the SDK if you are just running X11 apps, so installing just the user portion should be fine.

As I recall with the build of GnuBG you downloaded, just run it like any other Mac Application once installed (The older versions of the packages were better in that regard)

I have my Tiger Disc and I'm wanting to install the programme called X11 SDX from the xcode tools package, but I'm not sure if this is the right one because I've read about a file called X11User which I can't locate on my Tiger Disc.
