Hi. What version of Mac OS X are you running? Do you have X11 installed in /Applications/Utilities?

@saltybanana: look again at the subject title, though ideally the OP should have included that info in the body of the message. Anyway, /Applications/Utilities/X11.app is merely a pretty face. On SL the X11 work is done in /usr/x11 , and hopefully he or she would have remembered nuking that.
@irritated: can you please tell us what specific freeciv packages you have tried? It would also be really nice if you could be more specific about "never works". What error messages do you get?

@DoctorJLowe: I knew he has 10.6.4, but I didn't know that Apple had moved X11. My bad...
@irritated: If you can provide some details as DoctorJLowe suggested, I'll try to help.

I'm also running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and freeciv always crashes on my macbook. But the only package I've tried is 2.2.2 (GTK). |

Hi, Angel.
I believe I know what the issue is. For some reason my package did not give the file /opt/com.bitaxis/bin/freeciv-gtk the proper file system permissions.
If you have admin access to your machine, simply executing sudo chmod a+x /opt/com.bitaxis/bin/freeciv-gtk in a Terminal window will fix it for you.
Alternately, you can wait for the 2.2.2b package I am working on, which will fix this issue.

I pasted that bold line into my terminal and I get "no such file or directory." |

SAme happened to me but a quick check showed that the bold line should end in gtk2 because that what the file is called. So I entered the line
sudo chmod a+x /opt/com.bitaxis/bin/freeciv-gtk2 in Terminal and I am now up and running. Hope this helps. |
