Hi Jeremy, You hit the nail on the head. Upon created a new user account the first thing I did was to execute xclock from the terminal. It appeared. I then ssh -X into the HPC and loaded the required software. It appeared.
Now all I need to do is work out why XQuartz doesn't work on the Admin account. But at least I can still get back to doing work now :) Thanks Anthony Dr Anthony Nash Department of Chemistry University College London ________________________________________ From: Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia [[email protected]] Sent: 12 February 2015 06:46 To: Nash, Anthony Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: XQuartz on Yosemite Try creating a new user account to see if it's maybe something in your current user's configuration. > On Feb 11, 2015, at 22:27, Nash, Anthony <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Just got up.
