OSX 10.4.11, ppc, xfig gets bus error on startup, may be X11 configuration error

Reported by: davidh@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: x11 Cc:
Port: xfig

Description

I've just installed xfig, and I get a list of missing resources followed by a bus error on startup.

I suspect things will go much better with the resources, but how do I set them up?

See the attached x11 app session for what's going on.

Please attach the crash log. Also, what version of Xcode are you using?

Ok, old version of Xcode may be at fault. Also, you still haven't attached the crash log.

What do you mean crash log? I thought the terminal session was the log you meant.

Do you mean a core file? Where?

Lots of libs from /usr/X11R6 being used there. Are your ports up to date?

please close this bug report.

I had moved /opt/local to another drive, then planted a symbolic link "opt" on the boot drive.

What happened is that the X11 files libraries loaded with the executable were osx X11, not the xorg installation with macports once the dylib files moved.

I have since fixed this by setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to the new location of /opt/local/lib.

This might be worth a hint in the documentation. Its not nice to mess with mother nature, but if you must... here is a hint.

You shouldn't need to be setting any DYLD environment variables to get things to work, including with a symlink assuming things like /opt/local/lib/libX11.6.dylib still work.
