Hi Stan,
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. I'm no expert myself, but
I'm trying to help people with Solfege on OSX since I'm maintaining
the MacPorts port and since Tom Cato doesn't have a Mac. I didn't get
an attachment with your message... perhaps the mailing list strips
them? Could you try putting it in plain text? Or sending the
attachment to me directly? I assume you're trying the MacPorts
route? If so, you were right to download the developer tools so you'd
have the latest version of Xcode. I don't think you'd need XDarwin,
though; the X11 that comes with 10.5 or 10.6 (and with 10.4 as an
optional install) should work fine. (http://www.macports.org/install.php
has more info on MacPorts installation.)
And by the way, Jim Lynch posted a hint on http://www.solfege.org/Solfege/SolfegeViaMacPorts
about how to not use X... just FYI I haven't tested that myself; I
run Solfege under X, which mostly works fine. The only issue right
now is that to read the Solfege manual, you have to select the
"display the user manual in web browser" option under Preferences-
>Interface. (Jim Lynch, if you're out there, send me an e-mail...
I'm curious to know more about your hint.)

I am trying to run GNU solfege on OSX. I first installed it in July
and have been frustrated ever since trying to get it up and
running. At this point I do not know what to do. I am completely
computer illiterate and only want to help my students with ear
training. My computer has been downloading, downloading,
downloading. Attached is where I began. Since that time I have
downloaded the developer tools and XDarwin. Attached is also my
latest attempt. What do you suggest?
