Ever since I installed Panther and the new X11 I have had some
peculiar problems, none of which existed in 10.2.8.
I will describe them as best I can and if anyone can confirm them
and/or offer solution it would be greatly appreciated:
1. Well, I just tried to reproduce the errors I was most concerned
about and they are no longer reproducible??
They were that my "Gimp" and "Start Open Office" applescripts were not
working. In fact the Start Open Office script had caused X11 to become
hung up in such a way that it could not be forced to quit and I ended
up having to turn off power to restart. I even wrote a simple script
"tell application "X11" activate end tell" and got the error -
application is not running? I will keep working to find out what was
happening! They are working perfectly now
2. The second problem is that "man" is giving me an error message in
both X11 and Terminal it returns "man: illegal option --C" then
proceeds to show the correct usage. This occurs with every attempt to
use man even man ls.
I had this one in 10.2.6, actually. Are you running fink? If so, try
"/usr/bin/man" instead of just "man". I found that my default path was
to /sw/bin/man, which seemed to be broken. The apple one worked
correctly.
Any thoughts?
