How do I convince my machine that I don't have any X11 installed on it?
I don't know why apple doesn't provide it, a bit frustating...but thanks for all your assistance.
thank you very much, I still don't understand why it's so hard to find this package.
Is anybody else french ? did just apple forget to include X11 on the french cd ?
I am new to Apple computers and due to people such as yourself it has been an incredibly easy switch from PC to Apple. Thank you for posting this, you are the man!

I'm finally able to install OOo Thanks to you :)
thanks,

My installation dvd is 850 miles away and I need x11 ASAP!
My install disk is back in the U.S. I've tried to connect to http://idt.lcc.gatech.edu/~cmartin9/files/X11Ti.... with no success. Any problems (I hope not).
I won't link to them here, but I am downloading their un-kindly mirrored file (they also provided a direct link to my file), and I will re-up it very shortly.
Thanks for commenting to let me know something was wrong.
-Chris
Edit: The new file is up (see above).
Dropped you an E-mail. And since I started in a public forum, I'll end there. The downlaod was a success. You're most accomodating and do wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Thanks again,
Steve Dorn
You are the man!
You saved me a trip from the UK to Amsterdam :)
I tried downloading using the second link as well and although I can download it i can't open it.
Any suggestions

I am here in CHina without DVD......
(Is Apple becoming arrogant not to provide this download?)
Most helpful. You're a good'n.
Great stuff, thanks!
Thanks
Thanks a lot Chris. You save my day.
And shame on you Apple!
Thanks again.

I lost the original mac DVD.
I was looking for the X11 package for 3 months in the internet. Finally, I have it.
thanks, again.
Bye

To Apple: Why haven't you offered the same service? Seriously. Good thing Chis took the time for all of us.
This was stopping me from using OpenOffice.
this is more than reducolous not to make it available for download from apple's site but ...
anyway - good job.
thanks
Thanks again.
I bought a great comp on ebay, but, of course, I didn't get the install disk with it, and they didn't install X11 for me.
So I was searching around but I couldn't find it, and then I tried this and, tada, it worked! I can use GIMP now, thank you!
It seems I'm not the only one who doesn't carry his Tiger DVD around at all times and who suddenly, while being hundreds of miles from home, realizes that he needs to get X11 installed to get some things done properly.
It's a shame that Apple doesn't provide this download by themselves.
Thanks a lot! :D
Anyway, it was much quicker to google this post and download so I could start to use Inkshape which I desparately needed to vectoricize a .gif picture. I was really pressed for time and if possible I would like to send a small donation for your awesome initative of hosting X11.
Many thanks!!!
~Thanks !!!
Thanks a lot friend, I hope that you dont have any problem because the sharing.
Apple : What the hell, man? lost my tiger install disc ages ago.
thanks
I loaded the one on the CD but the software (Inkscape) does not find it and it it keeps asking me to load the X11 for Panther.
You asked if this version would work with Panther. I don't think it will, but the version that apple does provide on their website should work with everything up to Tiger (including Panther).
That version can be found here:

I have my disk, but had my mac repaired last week and the apple repairer stuffed up my cd drive! rah
You have saved me a lot of hassle as it is the weekend and I needed X11 today :-)
Fleur
Apple doesn't provide it online.

I need to install Ikscape, and I'm just too dang lazy to go downstairs to my study where my discs are...
p.s. you are smart.

X11 from my disc won't work, and I've narrowed it down to a tiny scratch on the disk, or my recent reinstall went bad.
-Mark
I needed to install a few programs and the previous owner didn't have the good sense of installing X11.
This saved my ***! Thanks!
Thanks again!
You are really providing a wonderful service.
Have a wonderful holiday season.
thanks a bunch mate.
OS X discs in UK, I'm in the US need OpenOffice, Apple not helpful!!
Saved my arse man!!
It was a great help!
kisses from Italy....=)
Thank you very much for your work.
It's sad that it is necessary.
Stavo diventando matto... Grazie
'mbaruzzo sì o nummero uno!!!
You just saved my ass....
X11 wasn't on the installation disk, and I got worried!
Sankyuuuu sooo much, desu! ^^

Thanks a million.
oh yeah btw this page wasnt made in iweb was it; )
Thanks! :D
It still says newer software exists :|.
Are you sure this is the latest?
Thank you. :)
Much useful.

My computer-clueless dad would thank you very much (if he had a clue ;-)
Now if someone would post a compiled 10.4.11 intel mach_kernel file somewhere, I'd be set... my kernel got hosed and I don't have the install disks, so I'm running off of Apple's 10.4.11 debugging kernel right now.
-Jon
I'm one of those who doesn't carry around his install DVD all the time.
thanks a lot,
a.
noticed you're at tech from the download link, how do you like it? i used to go there :)
Went to Apple site and figured out you can't download it for >10.4
- John
Thanks again (I don't think you have my little flag though... haha).
cheers!
have lost my tiger install disks
you are a lifesaver, so now i can run The GIMP
Cheers
All the best from Australia!
Thanks again.
Emanuel
You are a life-saver.
Thank you very much.
-Bill
(Really dunno where is the DVD !!)
I was almost foiled
but you restored my hope,
and now to conquer the world
Thank you a million billion :)
Seriously. This is the only place I've found X11 for Tiger, as Apple seems to have dropped the ball on providing it for a long time. And really, who's going to have their Tiger discs when they -need- them?
Many many thanks. I cannot emphasize how much this has helped.
i'm really happy happy.
i can work them
This is a really great favour and I agree completely. Who wants X11 for 10.3! Who carries their install disks around. Why isnt someone at apple doing this.
Glad you did!
ta
You saved my day ;o)
Thank you for this little but very successful support.
Thanks for sticking it online.
Kind regards,

Many thanks.

Thank you!
Thanks, 谢谢你
Needed it for Wine.
I needed this to run darwine on my mac :)
Hi, this may sound a bit silly...or to say the least I did something really dumb. I deleted my applications file and I don't have the instal disc or dvd for mac os x. I really don't know what to do? Can I even use your software? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Connie :)
Good Idea actually, I haven't realized that Apple doesn't provide with X11 download option until I needed It.

Go to /Library/Reciepts and delete the X11user and/or SDK package files (these files won't install the program, so just delete em
and, thanks for the download, chris. lost my dvd
Thank You once again.
Clifton Develle Cameron
Great thing you did for me, I can finally run GIMP!
It is very useful !!
:-)
Thank you SOOO much Chris!
Huge help.
you might also think about putting the basic xcode files on here as well, but that take up a little more bandwidth i guess.
anyway thanks again andy
thanks

Very much appreciated, saved me a trip home and my better half from yet another Apple rant :)
Thanks sooo much, i am trying to run Darwin, and it says you need the x11 package but my tiger installation discs don't have it on them dangit`!!!!!!
Thank you.. My installer disks had managed to tunnel out of our office.. I needed GIMP in order to spoil the remainder of my Friday afternoon.

PS Coldplay suck - Please accept my deepest sympathies on this cruel twist of fate.. still you could have been christened Noel Gallagher!!

Thanks :D

I left a lot of my software in the States when I moved here to New Zealand. I don't know why Apple doesn't post a copy. Thanks again! I will use your Amazon link when I buy my next book.
thanks

Thanks again!
Thanks again!
PS. the comment box at the end of the page is not that handy :S ... the scroll bar must be ten feet :S
Thanks anyway :)

Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for your help.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot, Chris...
All I want is to install the Ardour trial, to see what the fuss is about. :) It is supposed to be the best program available. :O
But it HAS to be installed only after x11. Since I bought my quicksilver second hand, I don't own the actual OS-X cd, it came pre-installed. So you really gave me a way out from a dead-end.
Thank you very much and good karma to you! :)

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PERSON (EXCEPT TIMMY) IN THE WORLD!!!
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR LIKE 3 HOURS.
I tried to download this app/zip file, but I got nothing.
Any reason why?
thanx n advance!
You are fantastic. Thank you for doing what I would have done if I had a working setup. I'm trying to NX into my box at home. I am on vacation and don't have the *second* osx disc with me. I forgot it by accident. This has been a GREAT help. I was so frustrated when I realized that Apple was clutching yet another piece of their domain as though some Windows dev might get their greasy hands on it. I still cannot fathom the pretentiousness of Apple, Inc. Anybody listening, just try dual booting windows and linux on apple firmware. When you've finished, tell me how you did it. I've been on linux for 4 years now and I cannot figure it out.
I cannot begin to tell you how helpful you have been by providing these files online. I thank you, sir. Keep up the good work. :)
Here's to you much obliged!
Thank you for providing this service. For some reason when I click on both links, it just re-routes back to this page. I am using Safari, it looks like others have come here via the same, wondering if I am doing something wrong? If you can't answer, no worries, it's great you've already helped so many! Happy New Year!
my tiger DVD? it is some 2 days flight from where I am at right now
Thank you so much for this. GIMP is now working nicely.
I really think Apple should pull its socks up.
u are the man!!!! i had so much problem to get this done
cheers
My install disk has been long gone and now i can finally run CrossOver and Gimp.
salut!
Thanks for helping out!
Bad Apple
Thanks!

I'm trying to install Wireshark for a class and I needed this app as well as the SDK one.
Thanks again!
~Berlin
Thankyou so much again!
This is great. Thank you so much.
The right thing at the right time. Your heart must be in the right place. Keep it up, the world needs more like you!
Thanks!
THANK YOU.
And BOO again to Apple for yet another inconvenience. We know you're 'cool' Apple, now show us that you actually want us to use your products.
Thank-you.
I've used Macs since System 7 and Apple has become so Microsoft-like lately it makes me wanna puke.
I needed X11 for using Darwine. And I didn't have the Install disk handy.
person commented Apple should learn from this. Putting up
a free download on their website is not going to put a dent in
their profits.
Thanks!
(i hope you're not tired of hearing that :)
-Neil
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'll be back to buy my textbooks for next term through your Amazon links. I appreciate it!
Thanks for the info.... it seems X11 installed okay, and I downloaded the updates also.
But I cannot seem to get GIMP to open ... I put the app in the app. folder, and it starts to open but won't
any ideas?
thank you
Is there any alternative X11 for tiger?
I'm at away from home at college and won't be near my OS discs for several months. You're a lifesaver!
thx so much
The DVD is in Iceland and I'm in Israel...
Fantastic!
Alan
But what happens when you leave your install disc in New Mexico, 900 miles away? You come here, that's what.
Cheers,
Jarrett
A great simple site, very helpful
keep it up
I don't have the installation CDs. I got my Mac on eBay. With this software, I got GIMP to work on my machine!
I know his GIMP experience will be fabulous thanks to you!
no way I can get that dvd right now.
and you saved the day!
thannnnnnk u :D
One thing which you might consider adding to your instructions is how to install it. I'm more of a *nix person, so I untarred the file and then looked around the directories for something to run make on. It took a few minutes before I started up the finder and realized I was able to click on the .pkg to install it! Kind of stupid of me, but quite possible if you're more familiar with the command-line than with macs.
Double thanks 'cause the first link was gonna take hours if it worked at all. I tried.
You make me happy when times are grey.
I hoipe every once in a while you scan this page and feel like a hero.
Beats me why apple don't want to feel like that, but if you ever doubt it - you the man.
Thanks a ton!
You're a life saver!
Hope your problems are solved like the nearly 1000 others who have left comments on this post. I'm glad I put these files online!
-Chris
Of to try and install GIMP, now that I have x11
thanks
Many Thanks for posting!
Have been trying to get Gimp to work over a week but my OSX dvd was lost while moving.
Emanuel
Not long to wait for the 1000th lucky person.
Anyway, thanks a ton. I can't believe that Apple doesn't have this available for download.
thank you, thank you, thank you
