Dear Alexander,
I forgot to say that, in both cases, I also did a clean fink install for
the
same reason. I had XQuartz 2.5.0.
Please help me here, How do I start X11? It always starts by itself when
I invoke, for example, gnuplot.
Which log do I have to look for?
All the best, and thanks
Eduardo Pestana
