Hello everyone,

I badly need XQuartz to work so that I can use XPP (a math modeling program) 
for a grad school class.  I have spent about five hours Googling this problem 
and searching through BugZilla.  I am running Mac OS High Sierra (10.13.6).  
XQuartz is refusing to launch properly.  It is working for other Mac users I 
have spoken with.

When I try to launch XQuartz.app by searching for it, I get “The app… can’t be 
opened.”  When I open the X11 file from Terminal, XQuartz stays open for a 
couple of seconds — I can see the menu — and then it’s gone.  When I try to 
open XQuartz by clicking on it, I see the animation of the icon expanding, 
indicating that the app should be opening, and then nothing happens.

I have looked in my diagnostic reports folder for a crash log, but as far as I 
can tell, none has been generated.

Thanks so much for any help you can give,

Hello


To start with the basics:
- Always reinstall XQuartz if MacOS has been upgraded.
- After reinstall, in a terminal run the command:
 defaults read org.macosforge.xquartz.X11

And let us/me know the output from the command
