X11 applications not working so well

[vtrac]

I'm trying to install Gimp.app and OpenOffice, but they both depend on X11. I installed X11 from my 10.4.5 CD after I upgraded to 10.4.6, which seemed to work fine (the X11 install from apple.com didn't work). However, when I run an X11 application, it starts for 2-3 seconds and then X11 freezes (I have to kill X11), taking down gimp/OO and even XTerm. However, XTerm by itself seems to run without any problems.

 

I've tried installing xorg through darwin ports, but I get this:

 

DEBUG: Found port in file:///opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/x11/xorg

DEBUG: Changing to port directory: /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/x11/xorg

Hi, my name is xorg

I am broken and looking for someone to fix me

What can I say ?

 

I've also tried compiling xorg from source, but I get this:

checking Whether to build documentation... no

checking Whether to build pdf documentation... no

checking for LBXUTIL... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it

is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full

path to pkg-config.

 

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LBXUTIL_CFLAGS

and LBXUTIL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

 

Anyone with similar problems?
