Do you have gtk2 installed with +x11 or +quartz? If +x11, do you have an X server installed?

[keithdtyler (Keith Tyler)]

No, I don't. This isn't indicated anywhere. I don't see any dependencies mentioned on the ports page or in the install output. I thought MacPorts installed dependencies for recipes?

Aside from the Linux version, I'm used to the version on Windows that doesn't have such a dependency, it works with native windowing.

Maybe the additional dependencies could be mentioned in the install process? I can't see installing X11 just for one application.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

It isn't strictly a dependency since you might not even be running the X server on the same machine. If you want to use the native window system, you want gtk2 +quartz. Unfortunately the whole GTK 2 situation is kind of a mess, as it can't be installed for X11 and Quartz at the same time, some dependents rely on X11-specific functionality (hence the default variant being +x11), and a bunch of other dependencies also have to be built for the right back-end. #27990 and #60511 have a lot of discussion of the problem and possible solutions that could be implemented.

[keithdtyler (Keith Tyler)]

I don't have X on here... i expected the mac install to work like the (non-cyg) windows install without X dependency.

I've installed gtk-quartz-engine, and reinstalled diffuse (both via macports), didn't help.
