YAY!!!! It works!!!! I had a bit of trouble so for the record here's what I did and what happened: I did: fink selfupdate fink update-all No problem. Then lanunch xfig: % xfig Error: Can't open display: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.3XMvjpgNfo/org.macosforge.xquartz:0 But also: % xterm xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.3XMvjpgNfo/org.macosforge.xquartz:0 So I googled that error: https://www.google.com/search?&q=+Xt+error:+Can%27t+open+display: > Also, check that you have X11 installed on the client end. I was > getting this issue when I upgraded my Mac to OS X Mountain Lion. > Mountain Lion removes X11, so you have to install it again via the > open source X Quartz project. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing That jumps to https://www.xquartz.org/ I already had that installed, but started the install anyway and it said: > If this is your first time installing XQuartz, you may wish to > logout and log back in.

So I figured I would complete the install (in case some component was somehow broken). It installed cleanly. I restarted my machine and now xfig works - I can type into the boxes, create figures, save them. HUGE THANKS!!!! Tom Thomas D.
