XQuartz 2.7.11 Compatibility

Is XQuartz 2.7.11 compatible with macOS High Sierra? When I go to install the .pkg file it displays that the installation has failed.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

This answer did not answer the compatibility question and there is not a problem opening the .pkg. After the .pkg opens it goes through all of the installation steps and then displays the error pictured at the very end.

I see. Then I don't know unless you have something installed such as anti-virus software that is blocking the installation. I had no problem installing Xquartz 2.7.11 on my Macs that are running High Sierra. I only use it for Inkscape and even that I rarely use.

Good luck with that!

Do you already have a directory at "/opt"? Is it a real directory or some kind of symbolic link or something? What is inside it?

I believe /opt is created during the install. It contains the X11 folder which contain the various components. Everyone knows XQuartz was written by Apple and is maintained as an open source project? Maybe not.

Yes, that's all true. But there's no way Apple is going to respond about this via email.

The logs clearly indicate where the failure occurred. My suspicion is that those directories already exist on the OP's machine and there is something funky about them.
