Unable to start XMonad in Mac

Question

I have completed every step in XMonad's tutorial for Mac. However, I cannot start it.

My shell did not run my .profile initially properly. My PATH works now correctly. I run the following command unsuccessfully

startx

and I get

font_cache: Scanning user font directories to generate X11 font caches
font_cache: Updating FC cache
xauth:  creating new authority file /Users/Masi/.serverauth.2188

Xquartz: X11.app = /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11

I have tried to use XMonad unsuccessfully by pressing

Ctrl-Shift Enter

I get nothing with the command.

How can you start XMonad successfully in Mac Leopard?

/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is a text file you can't execute it, you should run X11 with

open -a X11
