Description of the Problem, or Question?

Hello. What is the easiest way to install MyPaint on Mac with M2 chip?

Basic System Details

MyPaint version 2.0.1+gitexport.478280f

Operating System + Version:
Mac OS 13.5 (22G74) Ventura

Please Tell Us How to Reproduce the Problem in Steps.

I tried to install via macports sudo port install mypaint.

Are there any Errors Popping Up? If so, paste the text in the area shown below.

When running mypaint from terminal, it outputs

Hi, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

It seems like the platform architecture has nothing to do with the issue at first glance.

The callback makes it seem that this is a bug, and that the fault does not lie with you.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a Mac running M2 silicon to test this issue on, and I have not come across it in my own testing.

I have added this issue to the bug tracker

Thanks, installing sudo port install xorg-server fixes that and Mypaint runs normally!
