I don't duplicate your error message when I start xfig, and I get the following: $ appres Fig | grep version Fig.version: 3.2.5b That leads me to think that Fink's xfig install is probably setting things up properly, and that the extra 'Fig' file that Brian suggested might be the problem. A likely place would be in /usr/X11/share/X11/app-defaults. Also, what do you get from "printenv XAPPLRESDIR"? I have /sw/etc/app-defaults/ If there's no extra 'Fig' lying around, then compare what you have with: $ ls -l /sw/etc/app-defaults/Fig -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 22724 Jan 15 14:40 /sw/etc/app-defaults/Fig $ file /sw/etc/app-defaults/Fig /sw/etc/app-defaults/Fig: ASCII text If something's amiss your 'Fig' might be rotten. In that case try "fink reinstall xfig". Then, if that fails, try "fink rebuild xfig". In any case, we should update to the new version. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
