[Fink-beginners] xfig failing again

2014-03-05 Thread Thomas Schneider
I did this to update:

% fink update xfig
% fink selfupdate
% fink update-all
% fink update xfig
Password:
Information about 9049 packages read in 2 seconds.
No packages to install.

This is the problem:

% /sw/bin/xfig
Error: Can't open display: /tmp/launch-bCPkn5/org.x:0

Xfig does not launch!  What to do??

The previous problem was solved by making sure that I have:

% echo $XAPPLRESDIR
/sw/etc/app-defaults/

Mac OS X version 10.7.5.

You might try quitting X11 if it's currently running.  That usually has 
worked for me when I've had similar problems.

If that fails maybe try logging out and back in again.
