gimp2: Cannot open display

Port: | gimp2 |
Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
The gimp2-launcher port installed at /Applications/MacPorts/GIMP.app. Double-clicking that in the Finder would not launch GIMP and does not give me an error message. I tried running /opt/local/bin/gimp in the Terminal and got the following error message:
No application knows how to open URL file:///opt/local/bin/gimp-2.10 (Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10814 "kLSApplicationNotFoundErr: E.g. no application claims the file" UserInfo={_LSLine=1608, _LSFunction=runEvaluator}).
What do I need to do to fix this issue and launch GIMP from here?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

You literally just typed /opt/local/bin/gimp
into the Terminal, pressed Return, and that's the error you got?

I typed
/opt/local/bin/gimp
into the Terminal and get
Cannot open display:
I type
open /opt/local/bin/gimp
and get the error I cited above.

Ok, /opt/local/bin/gimp
is the correct command to start gimp. Do not type open /opt/local/bin/gimp
.
Cannot open display
typically means you have not installed an X11 server. One way to install one is sudo port install xorg-server
and follow the instructions in the notes that will be displayed. You'll at least have to log out and log back in afterward.
