XDarwin (xhost problem)

[Tom_Schrijvers]

Hi,

This is my first thread on MacOSX.com.

I've installed XDarwin and wanted to use the x-windows environment to display windows from Sun to my Mac.

But when I do 'xhost +' I get following message.

[d5771564:~] tomschri% xhost +
xhost: unable to open display "localhost:0.0"

Does anybody have an idea. I'm not an unixexpert.

Txs

Welcome!

Don't take this the wrong way, but was XDarwin running when you ran the xhost? Usually, that error is indicative of not having an X11 server running (which is what XDarwin is).

Hi,

I think the X-server is running.

You can check my attached file, it's an overview made by TOP.

Yup, it's definitely running; what's the output of running the following in the Terminal?

/usr/sbin/netstat -anf inet |grep 6000

Also, try

setenv DISPLAY d5771564:0.0

then run the xhost again.

Hi,

I've installed MacOS X on an other Powerbook G3. Installed XDarwin afterwards.

Now everything works fine.

Today I've ran a SAS session from a Sun Server on my Mac.

Txs for helping me
