Trying to re-install X11 on Snow Leopard

[SpecialKO]

I use GIMP as a graphics program on my Macbook, and it uses X11 libraries to function. I recently upgraded my system to Snow Leopard (10.6), and I didn't notice at the time, but the upgrade seems to have removed X11 from my system.

I figured I could re-install from the optional installs on my system disc, but installing the on-disc Xcode package doesn't seem to have helped. I think I installed the wrong thing, but I'm not certain.

I tried a few of the Mac user forums, but they have little time for non-coders who simply need X11 in order to use programs which rely on it, and I would prefer to not install a bunch of SDKs, since I'm skeptical that I need them.

Help? :'(

XCode is the OS X application development environment. You don't need to install it unless you are planning to develop applications for OS X or iOS devices.

X11 is a framework that lets you do nifty stuff without worrying too much about where you're doing it. I believe this thread has what you're after.

X11 should be a separate install from XCode. I would check your disks again.

Yeah, I found it after digging deeper into the optional installs. It's buried behind a few levels of options. Thanks much, guys!
