I thought maybe something was wrong with
my installation of OS X ( even though i had
no other problems with any of my other
software ). So i reinstalled the OS X 10.0
CD followed by the OS X 10.1 CD followed
by all the updates from Software Update
that i needed to get back to 10.1.2. ( Note: I
didn't want to do a clean install because i
have about 150 or so OS X applications
installed and didn't want to have to re-
install them or figure out what all they had
installed in various directories and then
save them off and put them back ).
I deleted the Developer folder and installed
the December Developer Tools using the
package i got from the Apple www site.
I saw that XDarwin, Fink, and Window
Maker had newer versions available. I
install them as follows:
Deleted my previous installation with the
following commands:
sudo rm �rf /sw
sudo rm �rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11 /
Applications/XDarwin.app
sudo rm -rf ~/GNUstep
Installed the package XFree86 version
4.2.0 ( download this from sourceforge.net
- note: after this install Opened XDarwin
from the Applications folder - the TWM
window manager opened just fine ).
Installed the package Fink version 0.3.2a (
downloaded this from fink.sourceforge.net )
Installed the package system-xfree86
(XFree86 placeholder package) - used this
fink command to do this: fink install
system-xfree86 - this finished with a
statement that it found a valid XFree86
installation.
Refreshed Fink�s list of pre-compiled
packages - did this with the command:
sudo apt-get update
Installed the package windowmaker
version 0.80.0-1 - did this with the these 3
commands:
sudo apt-get install windowmaker
rehash
wmaker.inst
This is when my problem started. I open
XDarwin the windowmaker�s icons never
come up and I can�t do a normal quit of
XDarwin. I have to do a force quit of
XDarwin. I also have to use the
ProcessViewer to force quit the wmaker
process.
I then installed the Fink packages for
enlightenment, blackbox, icewm, and
sawfish. They all work fine.
This is what my .xinitrc contains:
PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"
source /sw/bin/init.sh
#xmodmap -e "clear Mod1"
#xmodmap -e "add Mod1 = Mode_switch"
#exec icewm
exec wmaker
#exec enlightenment
#exec sawfish
#exec blackbox
#
#
#sawfish &
#enlightenment &
#exec gnome-session
This is what my path file contains ( in ~/
Library/init/tcsh ):
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/Developer/Tools:/
Developer/Applications
set path=( $path /usr/X11R6/bin )
This is what my .cshrc contains:
source /sw/bin/init.csh
Hope it helps. Thanks a lot Max.
