Hi,
I actually have two Macs. I get this error with Leopard and that's why
I tried installing Tiger's X11 on one mac. However, I failed in that
attempt and so for the moment don't have X11 running on that mac, so
the error report below is from a pure Leopard machine with all the
updates and no monkeying around on my part. So there's definitely
something wrong with X11 on Leopard (I run the same code on a third
mac that is pure Tiger with no problems). I will try again tonight to
get Tiger's X11 on the currently disfunctional mac.
thanks for your help.
Josh

Hi, yes, I've updated to IDL 6.4.1. That resolved one issue so I
could at least run IDL, but I now get semi-predictable X11
crashes when working with modestly large arrays of data (and in
the most recent case, a simple iPlot tool when changing settings).
Interesting... X11 shouldn't care at all about the amount of data
IDL is processing... it really is just concerned with the
visualization of the data. Do you have any backtraces you can
show us (copy-pasted from 'Report' when X11 crashes)?

Josh Im not expert but weren't you trying to revert to Tigers X11?
If im not mistaken Tigers X11 resides in /usr/X11R6 not /usr/X11. So
it appears to me you have got a mixture of Tiger X11 and Leopard X11
(which does reside in /usr/X11). People more knowledgeable than me
will no doubt advise you, but if you do start over with an "erase
and install" of Leopard, please do try the Quick Install on http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin
and see if that doesnt fix your problems before you try reverting
to Tiger X11. A clean install will also make sure all your PATH
definitions are right -- I suspect that might have gotten jumbled
too. Good Luck with it! :)
