gimp2: Cannot open display

[bongserrano]

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!

That's weird...

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.

It worked! Thanks Ryan
