Re: CLI challenged (problem solved)



Thanks, Bill.

I tried Rich Cook's suggestion to take out Fink's initialization code (. /sw/bin/init.sh), replacing it with this .xinitrc:

/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm  -aw -bc -rightbar -sk -si -s -sb -sl 10000&
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm

(Note that there is no ampersand after the quartz-wm.)


Rich explained to me that X11 executes the ~/.xinitrc and THEN EXITS! :-) So the original lines I had are now in my ~/.profile (for Fink to use), and after this change my X11.app works just fine!

You need to give it some program to run such as:

exec twm   (or whatever window manager you use).

It needs to have at least one program to run or it will start and exit.

hope that helps.
