Hi
I'm trying to help a work colleague debug a strange X problem. She is
running Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Xquartz 2.3.3.2 but is unable to forward
X11 windows from a Linux server to her laptop. All the environment
variables seem correct and I am able to forward X11 windows from the
same server to my laptop. This DISPLAY variable seems correct on her
laptop:
$ echo $DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-EpxaOe/:0
and also when she ssh's into the server:
$ ssh -Y trout
Welcome to Trout
$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
But when she launches a X11 app, it fails with an error like the following:
$ gitk
/tmp/launch-EpxaOe/: unknown host. (no address associated with name)
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
$
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what to try next to debug this?
Cheers
Adam
