Hello alexander,
I installed Apple's X11 from the install disc 3. I moved XDarwin out of the way and tried to startx:
[Brian-OKeefes-Computer:~] brianoke% startx
tcsh: userclientrc=/Users/brianokeefe/.xinitrc: Command not found.
You are really hunting those bugs, aren't you? :-)
The script /usr/X11R6/bin/startx in the original Panther version had a bug which prevented it from running when started from tcsh. It worked correctly when started from the Panther default shell, bash, and nobody is using startx anyway, so Apple was in no hurry to fix it, although the fix was quite trivial. They eventually fixed it in the update to MacOSX 10.3.4.
This leaves you with several options:
- Update to MacOSX 10.3.4 or later *after* the installation of X11. Depending on what your version of OSX is now, this is perhaps not an option any longer.
- Fix it yourself: Open /usr/X11R6/bin/startx in a text editor and remove the first line if it begins with "#pragma".
- Don't use startx. Even if it works, it won't start XDarwin.app or X11.app, but only a naked X server without decent Aqua interface. You normally start X11 by clicking on its icon. If you insist on a command line startup, run one of the following:
open-x11 xterm
open -a X11
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
