Please try 2.19 and let me know how it goes. This version was built and
tested on 10.4.9. YOu may have to go back to 2.15 or earlier to get a
version of Xplor-NIH which was verified to work with your old Mac OS X
version.

If you have root privilege on the machine, please follow the
instructions from p. 5 of the online Xplor-NIH tutorial. If you don't
have root, you might place the Xplor-NIH distribution in your ~/opt
directory.
2. unpack these files where you wish them to live:
gzcat xplor-nih-2.19-db.tar.gz | (cd /opt ; tar xf -)
gzcat xplor-nih-2.19-Darwin_8.tar.gz | (cd /opt ; tar xf -)
3. perform initial configuration:
cd /opt/xplor-nih-2.19
./configure -symlinks /usr/local/bin
(the -symlinks option creates symbolic links in the specified directory
for xplor and other commands - it is not necessary, but it avoids
needing to change your PATH variable. )
4. test the new installation:
bin/testDist
best regards--
Charles
