For preliminaries, I am on a Mac Pro running 10.5. I am trying to run a program that opens an X11 graphic and plots a mesh. The little program is called
showme. It has worked just fine in the past. Up until I had to make a new user account on this machine for myself. Now every time I try to run the program I get an error about not being able to open display. Here is the specific error that I get
Quote:
_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for /tmp/launch-3pw9FX/:6000: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Error: Cannot open display.
This is quite frustrating because I know I have been able to successfully run this program in the past. I don't really know all the ends and outs of UNIX so I don't even know how to begin to correct this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
