Hi folks, David, you were exactly right. I had colors in X11 set to 256. Some old piece of software forced me to switch to those few colors - I clearly forget to reset the colors. Setting the colors to millions fixed the problem. Bill, looks like your fink distribution isn't the problem at all. Though since you asked, I tried 'echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' and got nothing back. Looks like that variable isn't set. By the way, I convert crystallographers to the mac side all the time with your 'crystallography on os x' page. Juergen, thanks for writing. Display is set to :0.0. Thanks for the support, everyone. Regards, Ed Miller On 12/6/06, Juergen Bosch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
