MacGimp is available from the MacGimp website. 🙂 NEdit for Mac OS X is available for download from me, since I have managed to compile it under OS X. Download the binary package, NEdit-5.1.1-MacOSX.tar.gz. When it is expanded it only contains two items, ‘nedit’ and ‘nc’. These should both be placed into your /usr/local/bin directory. If you do not have Administrator access to put them into /usr/local/bin, you can put them into a directory called ‘bin’ which is in your home directory (you may have to create this directory). OroborOSX will find the ‘nedit’ executable in either of these two locations. I believe you can also get a slightly newer version of NEdit via fink. NEdit fails to launch, giving a strange error: “XmManager ClassInitialize: XmeTraitSet failed” This is actually due to a bug in XFree86 4.2. You can correct this by replacing a file called “libXt.6.0.dylib” with the one from XFree86 4.1.
