Where is X11?

Postby Kemna » Fri Jun 21, 2013 4:55 am

Hallo,
I am working with OS 10.8.3 and downloaded and installed Inkscape and XQuark. When I start Inkscape a window appers: Where is X11?
The X11 folder is at Macintosh HD/opt/X11.
Browsing to this folder, there is no posibility to choose any app.
What can I do?
Regards, Kemna

Just to make sure: Did you log out and back in (or reboot) after installing XQuartz, to properly finish the installation? (See also this Inkscape FAQ).

Select 'Applications > Utilities > XQuartz' (that's the name of the X11 application - see also this KB article).
