I was running xfig from the application menu, using the command "/sw/bin/xfig" (this syntax works for the other apps I run from the X11 application menu). However, it seems it doesn't work properly with xfig.
"source /sw/bin/init.sh ; xfig" fixed both the startup and the export problems.
Thanks very much for your help!

Apple's X11, eh? Are you running xfig from the Application menu? If
that's what's going on, then there's a piece of documentation that will
help:

Are there any other details on my installation that might help? Among
things that might conceivably interact, I also have TeTex, TexShop, and
Lyx installed, and I'm using Apple's X11

Thanks for the quick response. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be that--
easy. I did have the current version of "app-defaults" (20010814-2)
installed. I tried a rebuild on that package, but Xfig came back
with the same error on opening. Any suggestions for things to try next?

This is a very rare case of something installed by Fink not

correctly. (I'm very grateful to the Fink developers and

I'm running the current stable release of Fink on OS X 10.2.4,
and
installed the current stable Xfig (3.2.4-2) and transfig
(3.2.4-2)
today. Xfig opens with the error message
"Either you have a very old app-defaults file installed (Fig),
or there is none installed at all.
You should install the correct version or you may lose some
features.
This may be done with "make install" in the xfig source directory"
Xfig seems to work, but export fails with the error message
"Error during EXPORT. Messages:
sh: fig2dev: command not found"
I was able to find an earlier report of this problem in the
Fink-beginners archive, but the suggested solution (run "source
/sw/bin/init.csh") did not help.
Any suggestions? I imagine I'm missing something pretty simple,
but
I'm
a beginner.
