This means that you don't have Apple's X11 installed. No problem, just a little less convenience. You have to do it by hand:
1. Start X11. Don't use the startx command, but click on the corresponding application. For Apple's X11, this would be X11.app in /Applications/Utilities, in your case it is probably XDarwin.app in /Applications.
OK, fine. that worked. As as Alexander Hansen said, it started 3 Xwindows.
I did try his command for setting the Display environment, but it gave an error message as follows:
iMac:~ sheilaking$ setenv DISPLAY :0 bash: setenv: command not found
2. Set the DISPLAY environment variable in the shell from which you are starting xchat:
export DISPLAY=:0
Tried the export DISPLAY:=0 instead, and that appeared to work.
3. Start xchat by typing xchat.
There are about 25 other ways to do the same thing, but normally this should work.
Then typed xchat at the command line, and got the following error message:
----- iMac:~ sheilaking$ xchat
** (xchat:765): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/sw/etc/pango/pango.modules' You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules. -----
The first time I tried it, I didn't even think xchat had started at all. Apparently the xchat window appeared off the visible screen (mostly) off to the right. I did see it eventually though and dragged it back into the viewable area.
It is the ugliest looking xwindows thing -- well, you know -- basically xwindows as it looks without anything else installed to "pretty" it up (definitely not gtk appearance) and lots of text is missing. Basically, not usuable this way, since I cannot read any of the labels for the entries.
"which pango" basically returns no results.
I tried running the pango-querymodules as suggested in the error message above, but this just returned a "command not found" response.
I booted up FinkCommander to look and see if pango is installed.
These two files are shown as installed:
