That's one approach to solving it -- another would be to just set DISPLAY=:0 (or :1 or :2, if you have multiple users logged in).

The actual cause of this is that when you build applications with MacPorts, it builds libX11 itself, and I haven't yet submitted the launchd patches to there. :/ You can verify that this is the case by running "otool -L" on the application binary and verifying that it's linking against /opt/local/lib/libX11.dylib (bad) vs. /usr/X11/lib/ libX11.dylib (good).

You could probably then use install_name_tool to fix the binary to point at the right version of libX11 -- see its manpage for details, if you'd like to go that route.

Hi,

For some applications, I find that I have to "ssh -X localhost" and set DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 for those which do not like connecting to launchd.

Regards,
Antony.

Hi there,

till yesterday night, I could start my Scribus 1.3.3.9
installed with MacPorts 1.600 on a MacBook Pro, 2 GHz running 10.5.1
and using X11-2.1.1 handsomely just with a Terminal command... great!

Then I fiddled around a little too much, I guess,
installing and uninstalling new ports, eventually installing scribus from scratch
and now I get this:


Macintosh-2:~ thorsten$ scribus
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Cannot connect to non-local host ?
XIO: fatal IO error 22 (Unknown error: 0) on X server "/tmp/launch- yffOJE/:0"
after 88 requests (87 known processed) with 0 events remaining.


My DISPLAY env is
DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-yffOJE/:0

What is going wrong here?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Thorsten.
