So this seems like a fairly simple problem, but I can't seem to get it to work out.
I have recently installed Fink and Apple X11 to try to run a phylogenetic analysis program called ARB on the OS 10.3.
I type "source /sw/bin/init.sh ; arb" in Terminal to be able to run ARB in X11.
<AKH> Actually, this is what you need to put in the X11 Application menu to run it from the menu. If you are using an X11 terminal (xterm) then you should be able just to run it with
arb
However, I get the following message:
Program ARB will be startet in the background, please wait Suvis-Computer:~ suvi$ ARB: Loading '.arb_prop/ntree.arb' ARB: Loading '/sw/share/arb/lib/arb_default/ntree.arb' done
Error: Can't open display: ARB done
The Fink FAQ suggests using the "setenv" command in X11 to ensure the environment is set correctly (http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-general.php#no-display), but I get "command not found".
<AKH> That's because this was written when everybody was using tcsh. Try using
export DiSPLAY=:0
instead.
I'll add this to my list of FAQ updates.
Can anybody help me?
