Hi All,
I would like to use mcclim. I've loaded it (along with clx, flexichains, and spacial-trees), and get this error when I try to start the demo:
CL-USER(15): (clim-demo::run-test 'clim-demo::demodemo) ; Autoloading for ACL-SOCKET:CONFIGURE-DNS: ; Fast loading from bundle code/acldns.fasl. Error: "Connection timed out" (errno 60) occurred while creating a local socket and connecting to a remote host "tmp/launch-4lQnm8/org.x" (67.215.65.132) on port 6000. [condition type: SOCKET-ERROR]
Your DISPLAY environment variable isn't set up correctly. It's caused by the retards at Apple breaking 20 years of X compatibility so they can be "innovative". It needs to be something like ":0.0", not "tmp/launch-4lQnm8/org.x".
I start X11 up directly (despite the retards saying you just have to run an X application). I get two xterm, one has the bogus DISPLAY and one has the real one. I kill the bogus one and then use the real one from then on.
So, in the "Login Items" under "System Preferences" -> "Accounts", I have /Applications/Utilities/X11.app and in my home directory I have my .xinitrc file:
#!/bin/sh TERM=xterm export TERM PATH=/Users/mikemac/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bsd:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin export PATH
xhost + xterm -geometry +0+0& quartz-wm
