Re: [Gimp-user] Mac OSX 10.6.8 - GIMP 2.6.11

[David <david kenpro com au>]

From what I recall (haven't installed GIMP on Mac for some time) you 
need to install X11 window manager first. X11 used to be included on an 
"extras" cd with the official Mac systems discs, or you can download it 
from Apple. Google is your friend.

Once installed, GIMP works fine on Macs.

Forgive me if I have it wrong - it's been some time since I did it. It's 
pretty straightforward and everything comes from official sources so you 
don't have to worry about malware.
