How does it fail exactly — do you just see nothing happen or does a window flash and disappear or does it crash or show some sort of error? Also, what version are you trying? That code was just recently changed (about a 1.5 weeks ago). Mged has code to detect when it’s being run in a terminal and when there is or is not a controlling terminal, but the various possible cases need to be tested better. If you can post your desktop file, I can give it a try too. > Is it possible to launch brlcad w/o the shell? That was working, so if it’s not working, it should be possible to get it working again. If you get a trunk checkout and build, we can try some things. Cheers!
