Hi Jerry: Do you have success with any other X application? The reason I ask is the above error message may simply mean that X is badly installed on your platform. Of course, if X were badly installed on Linux it would be catastrophic since X is so important on that platform, but my understanding is that X is not very important on Mac OS X. Therefore, on that platform you might have a bad X installation and not know about it (except by running some classical X applications such as xterm, xeyes, oclock, etc.) Alan __________________________ Alan W.
