Hmmm... I guess I breathed a sigh of relief too quickly. Xfig
starts without error, but as soon as I pull down any menu from the

xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting

Any advice re what to do next?
I'm afraid I don't know; I don't use xfig. Hopefully the maintainer
of the port can comment. I'm Cc'ing him on this email.

Do you know what this means? Should I worry about it?
It means the port needs to be updated to not install files into /etc
or /usr. (Ports should generally install files only into ${prefix}
which is usually /opt/local.) The problem is filed here but the port
maintainer has not yet fixed it:

P.S. Similarly with one of the other modules needed for xfig:

Same thing as with xfig: the transfig port installs files where it
probably should not. A ticket has already been filed about this
problem, but the maintainer of the port has not yet taken care of it:

Finally, regarding your suggestion enter a ticket re this issue of
XFree86 vs. Apple X11, I am afraid I am too much of newbie to do a
proper job of that. If you think it is appropriate, could you
please enter the ticket.
Yup, I filed it here:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13333
