Thanks for your patience and help, Alexander. The xfig.info was highlighted in my email, so I took it to be a link...my bad. As you anticipated, I didn't have the -6.2 and -1.2 revisions for libxaw3dxft and xfig, respectively, so I tried to download the .info files from the experimental area of your website, as suggested. Now, they downloaded as .html files, so not knowing how to download the native code, newbie finally just went ahead and copied your source code into files in the proper directory. Many hours had passed. A little while ago, everything finally seemed to be in place, so I selfupdated again and ran update-all. For whatever reasons, none of which had much to do with me, I imagine, xfig and octave are now playing well together with XQuartz 2.7.11. Thank you very much.
My output from the commands you suggested is still not quite the same as what you said, so I am not sure whether to worry about it or not, since things seem to be working OK. Here is what I get: MacBook-Pro:~ Mike$ fink list -t xfig libxaw3dxft Information about 10198 packages read in 1 seconds. i libxaw3dxft 1.6.2-6.2 Athena widget set with 3D look i libxaw3dxft-shlibs 1.6.2-6.2 Athena widget set with 3D look i xfig 3.2.6-1.3 Menu-driven tool to create graphical objects MacBook-Pro:~ Mike$ otool -L /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib: /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.1.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXmu.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXext.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.0.0) /sw/lib/xft2/lib/libXft.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0) MacBook-Pro:~ Mike$ otool -L /sw/bin/xfig /sw/bin/xfig: /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.1.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXpm.4.dylib (compatibility version 16.0.0, current version 16.0.0) /sw/lib/libjpeg.9.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0, current version 12.0.0) /sw/lib/libpng16.16.dylib (compatibility version 43.0.0, current version 43.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0) I am guessing you created a new xfig -1.3 version since last time, but my last library linkage to libSystem.B.dylib looks like an older version 1213.0.0 compared to what you thought I would see (version 1238.0.0). Dunno if this is a problem. Thanks again. ________________________________ From: Alexander Hansen <alexanderk.han...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 18, 2016 10:26 AM To: Mike Wilkes Cc: Fink Subject: Re: [Fink-beginners] xfig startup error with display On Nov 18, 2016, at 05:04, Mike Wilkes <mike.wil...@hotmail.com<mailto:mike.wil...@hotmail.com>> wrote: After your fix of fig2dev I updated octave, and afterward could now install xfig without any problem. I then updated XQuartz to 2.7.11 this morning, and it seems to be playing nicely with nedit and gv. However, your link to xfig.info<http://xfig.info/> seems to be broken. It wasn’t supposed to be a link. My mailer was trying to be “helpful”. I did find an xfig.info<http://xfig.info/> file under /sw/fink/10.9-libcxx/local/main/finkinfo, and copied it to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, but I imagine that is not the correct one. Those are the same directory. dists is a symlink to 10.9-libcxx. I also copied from the same directory ( /sw/fink/10.9-libcxx/local/main/finkinfo ) the libxaw3dxft* files to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo .

Check the following: 1) Check whether you have installed the most current versions of the packages. You should get something like the following: $ fink list -t xfig libxaw3dxft Information about 9954 packages read in 2 seconds. i libxaw3dxft 1.6.2-6.2 Athena widget set with 3D look i libxaw3dxft-shlibs 1.6.2-6.2 Athena widget set with 3D look i xfig 3.2.6-1.2 Menu-driven tool to create graphical objects If those aren’t up to date, update them. If you don’t show the -6.2 and -1.2 revisions for libxaw3dxft and xfig, respectively, download the .info files from my experimental area (https://github.com/akhansen/Fink-experimental/tree/master/libXt) again and put them in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo 2) Verify that /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib has the right library linkage: $ otool -L /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib: /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.1.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXmu.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXext.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.0.0) /sw/lib/xft2/lib/libXft.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.0.0) 3) Verify that xfig has the right library linkage: otool -L /sw/bin/xfig /sw/bin/xfig: /sw/lib/libXaw3d.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.1.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0) /opt/X11/lib/libXpm.4.dylib (compatibility version 16.0.0, current version 16.0.0) /sw/lib/libjpeg.9.dylib (compatibility version 12.0.0, current version 12.0.0) /sw/lib/libpng16.16.dylib (compatibility version 42.0.0, current version 42.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.0.0) -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison
