[Opensim-dev] libgdiplus and OS X

[Scott T. Norman]

If you install X11 from CD/DVD then hopefully that's it. On 10.4.x,  
from a fresh install, X11 is not installed so you have to install from  
CD/DVD. On 10.5 from a fresh install, X11 is installed by default. I  
put all the steps on that you need to install for 10.4 and 10.5 on the  
Wiki last week. I can't run OpenSim right now until the issue with the  
terrain image is fixed for the PowerPC. I've got OpenSim running on  
Ubuntu Server, but looking forward to the day that OpenSim will run on  
PowerPC and Intel Mac's without much issue.

Blessings,

Scott
