Hello John S Blanding,

Your error is because you cannot install the X11 in this volume. I think this problem is occurring in your previously installed X11 application, and most of its parts are already contained in your Mac.

I suggest you use a cleaner software to fully clear it, then restart your computer. Then, try to install it again.
You can also try to install another drive which has more than 10 GB of free volume. Sometimes, this may create a problem though.

Now, enjoy it.

Hello! I have read your post. Well, I think this problem has created for previously installing X11 application. I have seen that sometimes, it's also happened to attack by various or malware. On the other hand, If your system is full of recesses and can't get any minimum required space, it may be happening. Check it and made a solution.
