Hi,

Hi,
I'm Auria, the current maintainer of the Wilber-Loves-Apple project (we do mac packages of GIMP). I'm posting here on the behalf of a user who posted on our forums. You can view the full thread here : http://gimper.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2401

In short, the user is unable to open GIMP because XQuartz complains that "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 0.0". Since I have little idea what this is all about, I am forwarding this to you in hope someone here will know more.
Is he using Leopard? If so the problem is that somewhere in his startup files (~.profile, ~.bash.rc, .xinit, etc) is a line defining DISPLAY=0.0 In Leopard DISPLAY is assigned a value by the system (it will look something like DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-2wHaV3/:0) He can check the current value of DISPLAY by typing env in an Apple terminal window. If this is his problem just remove the offending DISPLAY definition and restart.

thanks you, right on the spot :) His exact quote :

"As william write in x11 mailing list, i ve a file where the value display is fixed to 0.0 it's for a lyx appllication, i create a environnement.plist in my profile and fix display value to 0.0 Thank you to take time, and now gimp works " _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
