Re: [Xfig hangs on start]

Hello Christopher et al.,

Thank you very much for your help! It worked. I’m very glad to see the familiar 
old-school look of Xfig. I had it on my mind that something may be wrong with 
X11 server, but forgot about it. Thank you!

Hi,

fig is an X11 application, and thuis requires an X11 server to be installed to 
work. Do you have one installed ? If you are not sure run

sudo port install xorg-server 

and follow the instructions at the end to log out and back in again, and then 
retry running xfig.

[Xfig hangs on start]

[Maxim Abalenkov]

Dear all,

How are you? I need help launching Xfig @ macOS BigSur 11.3.1. Yesterday I 
installed the Xfig port (xfig @3.2.8a_0). It installed successfully. But when I 
try to launch it from the terminal it hangs. Nothing happens. Would you please 
help me to find the problem? I tried to “clean" the port and install it again, 
but it didn’t help. Thank you and have a good day ahead!
