[MINC-users] Installing MINC & X-term

[Jonathan HARLAP]

To run gui stuff using X with ssh you'd need to be using an X11 server 
on your mac rather than the standard Terminal.  If you're running 
Panther (10.3) you can use the Apple X11 server at 
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html, while if 
you're running Tiger the X11 server is on the Tiger install DVD.

I can't comment on the minc package for mac as it isn't clear which minc 
package you're using (Andrew's recent binaries from packages.bic..., the 
source tarball, Jason's outdated binaries from 
www/software/distribution/).  If you don't want to compile your own 
stuff, you should probably use Andrew's binaries from packages.bic.

Cheers,
Jon
