I cant Install x11 & Ardour 2.1 on my intel macbook pro (running OSx 10.4.10). The installer says I already have the newest version of x11 but when I try to install Ardour it tells me x11 needs to be installed first.
I looked for x11 in applications & the library with spotlight but the only thing comes up is the older versions that I was unable to install (downloaded from Ardour’s site & apple’s)
I launched Console and tried to install Ardour and got this:
“button returned:OK”
What am I doing wrong?
Does this program not work on intel macs running osx 10.4.10?
it does work. thousands have downloaded it and installed it.
you need to make sure you are not trying to install the “X11 SDK”, which as described on the OS X download page for Ardour, is related to X11 but not the same thing. What you want is either on the original install disk or available from Apple. googling for “apple X11 download” took me here:
which notes that: “Note 10.4 customers can install X11 by using the Tiger DVD installer disk.”
this comment is also troubling: “I launched Console and tried to install Ardour and got this”. i am not clear that you understand what this sentence suggests. you do not install packaged software (e.g. DMG’s, zip packages etc) on OS X from the console.
I also had trouble installing Ardour. I first used the X11 I found on the Apple CD, but in fact it was the SDK version… Then I tried to get the right by following the link you posted, but I’m told that there’s already a newer version on my computer. Can I just delete the wrong one and install the good one anyway ? Thanks by advance.
The SDK (SoftwareDevelopmentKit) should probably be there also… this includes certain libraries and headers that Ardour may need to use. Just install the X11 app as well, and all should be fine.
