The command:
sudo mv libj601.dylib /usr/lib/.
is correct (the final . means keep the same name).
However, this points out that the shorter, simpler and less confusing:
sudo mv libj601.dylib /usr/lib
would work just as well.
I suspect that you find x. enabled in your config because you did the n
install on top of an old install that had it enabled. A new install on top
of an old one doesn't replace user files such as config so your info is
carried forward.
The OpengGL lab step 7 smoutputs of 'paint' and 'new RC' are intended and
help in understanding what is going on in the initial script. Everything is
there in the script for study. Once understood they don't need to be
repeated in every example. You could of course add them in yourself as you
experiment with later scripts. The typo has been corrected.
Display gl3lab if you want to see what it does. It is useful only if you
casually or inadvertantly close the form and then realize you'd like to see
it again. It's extra complication over just doing gl3lab_run is that it
keeps the position and size of the last show rather than always recreating
it in the upper left corner and the default size.

Subject: Re: [Jbeta] 601 n beta available for Mac
First, thank you for this release. I have a few
comments mostly about typos, but don't mistake them as
criticism, please.

The "." at the end of the previous line is not part
of the instruction. Also, in my standard install, that same
line needs to be prefixed with "j601/" .

When I Edit|Configure|Parameters the default action

In the OpenGL Lab
-- (7 of 36) OpenGL dlls (ctd)
------------------------------
This section opens a temp script that creates a form with an
OpenGL control. A triangle is drawn in a random color on a
blue background.
If you close the gl3lab form, you can recreate it with
gl3lab''.

nextijs'ogl_simple'
gl3lab''
paint
new rc
Notice the last two lines printed out above "paint
and new rc" which result from smoutput's in the lab. They
are helpful, but may not have been your intention.
If the smoutput's are intended, then I think they
may also help in the next .ijs file: ogl_cube.ijs .
A non-typo comment has to do with the instruction to
use gl3lab'' to recreate the form. Under what conditions can
the _run part of gl3lab_run'' be eschewed. I don't know
where to look for this feature in the documentation.

Study the script carefully as it shows all the you need to
know about doing OpenGL proramming in J.
