X11 and grads do not work after upgrading to Sonoma

[Richard L. Hamilton]

I don't have Sonoma, nor Ventura up at the moment, but on Monterey, /usr/X11 is a symlink to /var/select/X11, which is another symlink.

In my case, since I have the macosforge.org <http://macosforge.org/> Xquartz installed, it's a symlink to /opt/X11. That is of course not the macports version, which seems to have parts in
/opt/local/etc/X11	/opt/local/lib/X11
/opt/local/include/X11	/opt/local/share/X11
/opt/local/bin

On any of the locked down OS versions (Monterey or later at least), one probably can't change /usr/X11, but can probably change /var/select/X11 .

Something built without using macports would presumably tend to expect /usr/X11 or /usr/local/X11.
