Hey All.. Appreciate the suggestions but NOTHING has worked. Again to rehash, on my emac, I can open X11 and type pan, xmms, whatever and it starts.
I have been over the faq's, the reply emails, simply NOTHING has fixed my problem..
That is again, if I open X11, it opens a term, just like the emac, but when I type the command, it says command NOT FOUND.
If I do cd /sw/bin then ./APPWHATEVER it works..
I'm going CRAZY.. What am I MISSING AND OVERLOOKING??
You may already be crazy, but don't be too concerned. It's not a bad place to be :-}.
First, stop thinking that this is all magic. There *is* a rational explanation, and you just have to find it.
Here's what I understand from what you have said in this message:
On your 'emac':
- Apple's X11 works, and you can, from an xterm, run X-apps without apparent problem
On your 'iBook':
- Apple's X11 works, but you can *not*, from an xterm, run X-apps at all.
We need some information: Regarding your 'emac': - what version of Mac OS X are you running? - what is the shell in the xterm? - what is the PATH variable set to?
Regarding your 'iBook': - what version of Mac OS X are you running? - what is the shell in the xterm? - what is the PATH variable set to?
This will get us on the road to diagnosing the problem. It appears to be either a problem with your PATH variable, or with configuration differences between the two systems.
Regards,
Justin
