James,
There are two sources of confusion, probably. One is the read me file. It is out of date (my bad). The other, as others have mentioned, is the need for X11, which is an optional installation package that you can find from the Tiger DVD. The installer is located in a folder on the DVD named "Optional Installs" or something of the like.
Let me know if you continue to have trouble.

It seems the actual game isn't there - but in this case I'm pretty sure I just don't understand. It said something about needing X11 or something like that. I'm a programmer and therefore pretty ok with computers, but I'm a Windows dude and the Mac the wife and I just bought is still something of a mystery *L* Do I need to compile it somehow? Do I need to download something else? Or am I just missing the obvious (wouldn't be the first time). I'd appreciate any help you could give me. I really like open source and hope the concept keeps growing. Thanks in advance. James P. Wiant |
