    huge problems with X11, .xinitrc, fink on Tiger

    I loved OS 10.3, everything worked happily. Not so here. 1. When I install fink 0.8.0 the pathsetup script says that when it adds the line test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && /sw/bin/init.sh the computer ignores it. I cannot run fink or any other fink-installed stuff until I type source...

    firewall

    I know Apple comes with a firewall, but I want something a little more. Anyone know of a really good opensource firewall that works on OSX?

    MSOffice and images

    Well, I read the whole post and found lots of information but no actual solution per se. I tried saving my document as an RTF and I had the same problem. My graphs that were pasted in do not appear completely. They are there, but the file scrolls REALLY slowly and they are missing a lot of...

    MSOffice and images

    I checked on the "Pictures and Graphs trouble on MS Word" post. This is terrible. I'm very unhappy

    MSOffice and images

    I've been trying to copy and paste images from a mathematica notebook into my word documents. It work fine on the highly faulty Win98 machines as school, but somehow when i open the doc's on my mac the images are only partially displayed and missing things like background colors and axes. Any...

    xset

    I've been attempting to run Mathematica remotely for a while now, and have been plagued by many fonts problems. I've more or less fixed them (I still get one of 4 previous error messages, but things seem to work), with one big nuisance of a problem: (well two): First: When I ssh -X from a...

    Transparent Eterm in .xinitrc

    I've been working on this all weekend and am quite stumped. I am running X11 with all the SDK stuff on OSX.3 on my G3 900MHz iBook. I cannot for the life of me open up Eterm from the .xinitrc file and have it get the background right. The background is set in the line above it using Esetroot...

    FinkCommander help

    Well I posted this info elsewhere as well, but here's how I solved my problem: 1)FinkCommander does not run with Panther 2) Even if you have X11 installed, you may not have X11SDK. You need to install this from the xCode CD. Gcc is a good idea too. 3) Fink comes with X11 for users on...

    Unix, X11, Fink, X11 SDK.

    One thing to note when you receive Panther: X11 for Users is on the third install disk, along with fink and lots of other good stuff... Gcc and X11SDK, however, is on the xCode CD that comes with Panther. Also, you have to specifically install X11SDK, otherwise nothing work. I guess it's...

    Fink commander on Panther

    Eureka!! I discovered something rather sneaky. The XCode CD has on it X11SDK, the developer stuff you need to run fink and whatnot, as well as gcc3 and other things. But I don't think these get installed by default in the standard xCode install. Although why is beyond me. Also, I've been...

    Fink commander on Panther

    Well, I've fixed a few things, but there's still one major problem. Apple's X11 is very obviously installed in its x11r6 or whatever directory, and fink and fink commander are running. Now I want to run some nice programs like aterm and such. All of which depend on X11. Now normally I...

    FinkCommander help

    I too am having a similar problem. I already have xfree86 stuff installed on my system, so naturally fink installed its 'placeholder' app system-xfree86. There's a little 'current' thing next to it in commander, and when i run the install command either via commander or the terminal, it says...

    Fink commander on Panther

    1) What exactly of fink comes with the X11 packages for Panther? There is the /sw/fink directory, but I can't seem to run anything.... But the when I try in to instal Fink 0.6.2 it says that because there is already an /sw directory I cannot install it. Help also 2) Is there are working...

    moving to Panther

    That's interesting.... Has anyone else heard of anything other than Classic apps not working with the UNIX file system? Thanks for the warning

    moving to Panther

    I'm running fink and fink commander, aterm, scite, scintilla (g++ frontends), Open Office, abiword, ethereal, and whole bunch of other miscellany. This should all be stuff I can reinstall I guess.

    moving to Panther

    That does help, but specifically, does Panther have Apple's X11 built in? Or should I leave that on my system?

    moving to Panther

    I'm about to make the jump to Panther, but I have a few questions first. Will the new developments with X11 render my Apple X11 and Fink stuff unecessary? Will the Panther install screw up the straight Unix stuff I have on the machine? (please say no?) Or will it simply install over 10.2.8...

    X11 Office Apps and printing

    I'm running Apple X11, Fink, and a host of Unix stuff on my G3 iBook, and I have some questions about (drumroll) printing from office programs. I have OpenOffice installed, and in its print dialog box it recognizes my Lexmark printer. However, when I go to print, the job - according to the...
