I am on an 2.33 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2Gb, 10.5.7.
At some point recently X11 quit working.
Previously all was well. If I started a terminal and typed "xterm -sb
&" and xterm would pop up, after starting up X11.
Or if I typed "gv file.ps" and ghostscript window would pop up.
Now, neither of these work.
Now if I try to quit X11, it will not stop, or at least starts up again.
When I try to quit a terminal session it warns me that "Closing this
window will terminate the running processes: login, tcsh, perl, sh,
xset."
I also have the odd Display variable: DISPLAY=/tmp/launch-nKjMmC/:0
Earlier today I blindly followed some advice in this list and executed
sudo ln -s libexpat.1.dylib /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.0.dylib
since libexpat.0.dylib was missing in the X11R6/lib/ directory.
Actually improved things - previously when I executed the "xterm -sb
&" command from a terminal the command prompt never came back and I
would have to quit the application. Now it comes back but no xterm
appears.
Help is appreciated.
Here is part of the console:
