10.4.11, fresh MacPorts install, but xterm will not launch

Error when type
xterm
in Apple Terminal is:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: .0
I've seen that this is an issue on Leopard, but the MacPorts instructions say that DISPLAY should in fact be equal to that value.
XCode 2.5_8 is installed, from a download today. Since installing MacPorts, Xterm.app crashes.
MacPorts xorg-server and xterm is also correctly installed from a download and build today.
The 'env' result matches what MacPorts said it should be.
How can either Xterm.app, or the MacPorts xterm, be made to work?

Thanks Bob. Here are my answers to your questions:
Q: "Did you start X11 before you tried starting xterm?" A: For MacPorts X11: Yes I started the MacPorts X11 first with the command 'startx'. Regarding regular XCode X11, that used to work fine from the app icon. My problem is that it does not anymore, and the MacPorts X11 does not work either.
Q: "Generally when starting X11, it opens an xterm for you." A: Yes, starting the XCode X11 app generally does open an xterm. My problem is that it won't anymore.
Q: "Are you using the Mac OS X Tiger version of X11, or did you install your own? " A: I installed the latest Mac OS X Tiger X11, per my signature (see the dmg).

  • ITunes is installed but it will not start

    I just updated iTunes and the progam shows as being installed but iTunes will not start.

    I have had this problem - started two days ago. (Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.) I have not added anything new recently that could cause a conflict (upgrades, new software, etc). Suddenly it didn't work - will not open. In Windows Task Manager I can see that it starts and then stops without opening. I've plugged in my IPhone, IPad and IPod and nothing will connect. Some forum threads suggest removing/reinstalling QuickTime and some have found that to work. Didn't for me. It will open if "Run as Administrator" is used, but that - according to threads - suggests third-party add ons as a problem. Not the case with mine. I completely removed all of the ITunes software (Bonjour, Mobile Support, etc.) and reinstalled. Nothing changed. I am so frustrated with Apple on this - I found nothing in the support discussions to help. Quite frankly, I do not understand why Apple, with tech equipment that is so well designed and elegant, still puts out such a lousy piece of software that you are held hostage to use. I have hit a wall - I hope you get a response and help! I've run out of ideas!

  • I have uninstsalled and reinstalled firefox but it will not launch 3.6.1

    I have uninstsalled and reinstalled firefox but it will not launch 3.6.1

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Firefox will not show a downloaded toolbar. It says it is installed but it will not put in on my toolbars.

    You can retrieve the certificate to check who issued the certificate.
    You should always do that to see if that helps to identify the problem (missing intermediate certificate or something else).
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issue.
    If you can't add an exception, but get a pop-up with the error message then you can check the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.xul.error_pages.enabled browser.xul.error_pages.enabled] on the about:config page and make sure that the value is set to the true (default).

  • Yosemite working but iTunes will not launch

    Finally got Yosemite running OK on my MBP even though I could not redownload it from the App Store.  iTunes has not been working through this whole ordeal so that is not surprising (I thought).  But I just did a complete download of the Yosemite Installer so they must be separate.  iTunes will not launch.  The icon is in the Dock and it will bounce three times when I click it but it won't launch/open.   Can this be fixed by launching the Yosemite Install app now in my Application folder?  I haven't found a way to download/reinstall iTunes separately.  I had/have iTunes 12.0.1.

    I have had this problem, I even went into package contents to Macos folder, ane when I launched from there, it seems that Itunes is not conecting to a server, and hence times out with the spinning wheel of death so no matter how many tiles i uninstall and re install, it keeps coming back to this?

  • I have downloaded firefox but it will not launch why?

    I had Firefox and it crashed. It would never launch again. I then removed it from my laptop and restarted. I then downloaded it again. Same results. What is going on? Today I downloaded again and it launched but now when I open my computer again, it will not launch.

    I'm not sure if it came up while you were posting your question, but there are several troubleshooting suggestions in this article: [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]].
    Could you try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Will Firefox start up?
    Sometimes a strict "program control" firewall or malware will stop Firefox from running. You can investigate these possibilities further using the steps/tools in these articles:
    * [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]

  • I have silverlight installed but it will not work.

    I have silverlight Version: 5.1.30514.0 installed on a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Premium SP2 64bit.  
    I use this everyday for work.  When I came in this morning. It wasn't working so naturally I looked for an update I ran the installer from the website which uninstalled Version: 5.1.30514.0 and attempted to install a 64 bit version. (I can not
    determine whether my current version is 32 or 64 bit). It said it was not compatible with my OS (even though it is listed to be compatible under system requirements). 
    So I re-installed Version: 5.1.30514.0 through windows update but it will still not work. 
    Any ideas on how to fix this?  The website that uses it is vital to my job. I really need to quick fix that isn't talking my company into buying a more up to date computer. 

    I've encountered a similar problem with Silverlight on my Vista PC. 
    Several weeks ago I read a brief item stating that Google would be dropping support for npapi and that it would affect Silverlight in April.  One of my key daily apps uses Silverlight, but I didn't receive notification from that software's author about
    the pending change and how it would be handled.  Successfully used the app every week (Mon-Fri) this month for 8-10 hrs/dy day (as I've been doing for the past ~5+ years: past year under Chrome, year before that under FireFox, ~3 prior years under
    IE) and on Fri 4/17 shut it down for the weekend.  When I booted up on Mon morning and tried to log into the key app however, it prompted me to download and install Silverlight, acting as though I never had it installed!  (And in fact, I couldn't
    find it when looking under > Control Panel  > Programs and Features!)
    I recalled the earlier warning about Google dropping support, so I closed Chrome, started up FireFox, but got the same prompt from the app -- it directed me to install Silverlight.  I downloaded it (had no choice as to which version, just got the "Silverlight_x64.exe"
    file) and got part-way through the install when this error msg popped up:  "Unable to Install Silverlight.  Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight".  WHAT?!  According to  > Control Panel
    > System, I'm running "Windows Vista Home Premium", with a "System Type:  64-bit Operating System".  I've been using this same Vista PC since Sep 2008 and running Silverlight for around the past 5 yrs.
    Can someone explain why the Silverlight installer code doesn't deem Vista worthy of running its latest and greatest version? 
    Is there a way to get an older version of Silverlight that will run under Vista? 
    Is this just another means to a forced OS "upgrade"?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful comments.

  • Why does my .exe file run on the PC I created it on, which has LV installed, but it will not run on a PC which does not have LV installed?

    I am trying to run a stand alone application on a PC which does not have Lab View installed. I created the executable file and the installer. However, when I run the .exe the VISA functions contained in the VI return error messages and the power supply I am trying to control does not respond. The stand alone application will run on a PC that has Lab View installed. 
    My application initially used a VISA resource control to selct the instrument GPIB address on the PC I used to create the application. Since the PC I am trying to run the .exe on has an older version of NI-MAX I cannot create aliases that the VISA control can interpret.I have tried to upgrade NI-MAX hoping that would solve my problem:
    Here is what I tried:
    uninstall NI-488 and NI-MAX ( if you want to uninstall MAX you must uninstall NI-488 ) reinstall NI-488 and NI-MAX Ver 3.1 then try to install NI-MAX version 4.1 which I downloaded from NI website. When I do this I get an error message when I try to run MAX. None of this worked so I hard coded the instrument address as a constant and again that works on the PC with LV installed but does not on the PC without LV.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    It looks like you do have the LabVIEW runtime engine installed.  It might be that the VISA drivers you have are not compatible versions.  In NIMAX, look under software to see what versions of VISA software you have installed on both systems.
    It does not matter what version of NI MAX you have installed, since your application does not use NI MAX.  NI MAX only helps you look at (or simulate) the hardware and software you have on your system.
    One thing you could do is include drivers and the runtime engine while creating your installer.  That way, you should be able to do a complete install on a clean system.

    My iPad will not update apps.  It states it is installing but if never completes the installation this has been going on for more than 24 hours. What do I need to do?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
