How Do I Download Gimp For Mac
Hello again, I installed gimp2 using DarwinPorts: sudo port install gimp2 It took such a long time! Several issues: (1) Couldn't find the executable gimp.app anywhere on my hard drive. (2) It placed everything under /opt/local/ (3) When I tried to run it from the command line by typing in: Raven: untz$ gimp GIMP could not initialize the graphical user interface. Make sure a proper setup for your display environment exists. What should I do? I tried to install x11 and the installer won't let me by stating that I had a new version already installed.
GIMP is a multi-platform photo manipulation tool. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. The GIMP is suitable for a variety of image manipulation tasks, including photo retouching, image.
(4) Was I unwise to use DarwinPorts? (5) Should I uninstall gimp using DarwinPorts and then download & install the packaged gimp.app by Aaron Voisine?
Please see: (6) If my display environment problem is fixed, then is there somewhere I can make an alias for gimp on the desktop and use an icon or do I have to keep invoking it from the command line? Many, many thanks! (1) Couldn't find the executable gimp.app anywhere on my hard drive.
It is just going to be called 'gimp' not gimp.app (I don't think). Look in /opt/local/bin (2) It placed everything under /opt/local/ Odd but not completely inappropriate.

I tried to install x11 and the installer won't let me by stating that I had a new version already installed. Try the command 'open-x11 gimp' (4) Was I unwise to use DarwinPorts? Sorry, I don't know anything about DarwinPorts. (5) Should I uninstall gimp using DarwinPorts and then download & install the packaged gimp.app by Aaron Voisine? Please see: I've not tried this. Is is still free (as in beer)?
I've heard that there is a pay version of gimp-2.x for Mac about somewhere. (6) If my display environment problem is fixed, then is there somewhere I can make an alias for gimp on the desktop and use an icon or do I have to keep invoking it from the command line? Yes, I can imagine that it is possible, but I've not tried this. I've got GIMP working fine on my mini, running Tiger. I downloaded gimp.app from (yes it is free, as in beer), and when I execute it, X11.app is invoked automatically, and GIMP starts up within the X11 environment.
My advice would be to undo the work you've done with DarwinPorts, check you've got X11 working properly (just run the executable from your Applications folder), and then download and run gimp.app - I think it sounds easier and more user-friendly than using DarwinPorts. If you haven't got X11.app, get it from There is a paid-for version of GIMP for mac at - $80 gets you a CD. Don't really think this is worth it, but haven't really considered it much. Go for the gimp.app from Good luck Andy. I'm having the same problems. I installed using darwinports. I got some error trying to install gimp2 (yes it took abouy 1.5 hours) I cannot remember what it was but some lib wasn't correct.

I then tried to install gimp: sudo install port gimp. This was much faster and installed fine. However, when I load it the X11 pops open and nothing happens! I then tried to install the gimp.app by Aaron but that doesn't work either!
