I recently downloaded the latest version of
XFree86, 4.4.0. I am running OS X version 10.2.8 and
I installed the necessary components:
Extract
XInstall.sh
Xbin.tgz
Xdoc.tgz
Xetc.tgz
Xfenc.tgz
Xfnts.tgz
Xlib.tgz
Xman.tgz
Xquartz.tgz
Xxserv.tgz
I placed them all into a folder called XFree 86 on my
desktop.
In the Terminal, I typed
cd Desktop/XFree86
then,
sh /Users/myname/Desktop/XFree86/Xinstall.sh
The installation started, and I pressed y to continue.
As I began installation, every file it began
extracting gave the following error
Could not Create file: Permission Denied. In the end,
an application called XDarwin was created in my
Applications folder, but it would not launch when
opened.
Since I am the administrator on my computer,
(being the sole user) how can I give the XInstaller
permission to write those files?
Thank You,
Alex Stork
