I rebuilt/reinstalled all the packages in /sw/etc/profile.d, and I
created a .cshrc with just "source /sw/bin/init.csh". Terminal.app works
OK, but every new terminal window in X11 displays that error. When I
revert to my old .cshrc (which, as a pointed out earlier, has no if
statements), Terminal.app displays the error if I execute "source /sw/
bin/init.csh" but otherwise is still usable (aliases work). I don't
remember installing anything yesterday, and X11 was working normally
yesterday. Now I have to use Terminal.app to launch X11 programs and
then bring X11 to the front manually.
