Hello!
I am very new to unix, so sometimes it feels like I am walking around in
the dark! But Ia m figuring it out...
Steve, I followed your advice to Catherine with great success, thanks.
TWO PIECES:
1) I would like to run Matlab from a remote server. whic leads me to my
nextquestion what of the 700 or so apps available via Fink Commander to
choose? I ahve no clue what 98% them are. I just want to configure mac
X11 so that I can have remote access to Matlab...
2)Furthermore, when I type startx in my terminal (the basic tcsh shell
thatcame with my machine) I get an error message that I cannot interpret:
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 /X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 January 2002
If the server blah blah....
Operating Sytem: Darwin
Using keymapping provided in /System/Library?keyboards/USA.keymapping.
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
Display mode IOKit
Failed to connect to the HID System as the window server!
Fatal server error:
Quit the mac OS X window server or use the -quartz option.
OSVendorFatalError
AbortDDX
Quitting Darwin...
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Can some one decipher this and then tell me in very plain langauge what
the hay this means? And what I can do about it. I am just new at this
and unfamiliar with the langauge.
Thanks in advance...Cheers ~Byron
