Hi, Max. The issue is mainly on 10.11, since initially the X11 convenience symlinks couldn’t even be set up. I guess there’s now a system-level tool which can be run to do that, but personally, I’d prefer if we were able to convince all of our packages for 10.9+ systems to operate with no X11 convenience symlinks since they get clobbered on every OS update. Option (1) or an sdl-nox seem reasonable to me. —Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
