Hi
A while back I asked if anyone could shed any light:
Intermittently all my macports that use X fail to start. This from syslog.
Dec 14 09:50:59 haycorn.home org.macports.startx[699]: xauth: file /Users/jam/.serverauth.700 does not exist

Dec 14 09:51:01 haycorn com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.macports.startx): Service only ran for 2 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 8 seconds.
Irritated by the contiual nagging to update I broke rule #1 and updated. Now X will never start and nothing is logged.
I removed all trace of macports and of Xquartz, then reinstalled. Voila everything works. Nextday after after reboot NO X.
Nothing whatsoever logged.
Previously startx started an undecorated xterm.Now
[haycorn] /Users/jam [521]% startx

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
..
until timeout after 5 min or so.
There are no .serverauth files.
I?m somewhat lost. I fiddle my linux boxes very technically but this is all a bit alien. Can anyone help me please?
There is no /opt/local/bin/X but there was none yesterday when all was working (only /opt/X11/bin/X)
First thanks for all the wise words.
My *biggest* problem is that one login all works the next login it does not!
Trying desperate measures I upgraded to el Capitan installed the correct macports dmg.
Many ports eg wget do build. qt5 fails to build. gnuplot fails to build (the latest ticket says do selfupdate all is fixed, but it is not)
Many tries later so the peamble is done:
[Haycorn] /Users/jam [502]% sudo port install gnuplot

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port gnuplot failed
I executed the command that was logged as failed, everything worked perfectly.
Now I need advise from people here please:
I’ll format the disk and start from scratch (I do have a time machine backup)
If people have made qt5 and gnuplot work with el Capitan I will install that else I’ll do yosemite.
The reply about the SDKs looks right and I will do that (thanks).
Cheers
