### 17.3 Running GPS on Mac OS X

The current version of GPS on Mac OS X requires an X11 server. Such a server is distributed with Mac OS X Panther and Mac OS X Tiger.

Additionally, if you are launching GPS from a standard Terminal, you need to specify the display on which to launch GPS, by typing:

`export DISPLAY=:0`

before launching GPS.

Note: GPS does not support files with line endings in CR.
