zenmap X11 issue

All,

  I am looking for help with zenmap on my powerbook.  I am running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 on an intel Core 2 Duo.  I 
thought X11 was loaded on my box; however, zenmap does not seem to find it. 
  I went to the apple site and downloaded X11 and tried to load it.  I downloaded the X11User.dmg and start the load 
process and get a stop sign with a ! in it on my disk drive.  I click on the disk drive icon and get the following 
message: "You cannot install X11 on this volume. Newer Software already exists on your computer."
  I also tried the X11 update on the Apple site and when trying to load it I get the message: This system does not need 
this update.
  If I try to run Zenmap from a Terminal window I get the error:  IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc'
    I have checked and have a /usr/X11R6/lib directory.  I do not have the X11/xinit directories.  I looked for the 
most up to date version of X11 for Mac and found one that will use X11R7 for the directory.  I have two issues with 
this.  One I could not find the binaries for this new version only information.  Second zenmap is looking for X11R6 and 
I needed to load the binaries Vs building my own so do not seem to be able to change it.  I ran the command "find" in a 
terminal window to find xinit and that directory does not seem to exist on my box.  So I assume I do not have a copy of 
X11 even though the installers from the X11 software I downloaded from Apple seems to indicate that I do.  

  I would like help in either configuring zenmap to work with what I currently have.  Or help me get a new version of 
X11 that I can load on my system and how I get zenmap to use it.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.  Have a good one, Ed.
