Re: [Fink-users] 10.6.4 update and gnuplot

[Eduardo P. <epe...@gm...>]

Dear All,

Dear Alexander, thanks.

Can both  apple's X11.app and XQuartz2.5.3 both be installed?
In the XQuartz2.5.3 webpage says

> Default X11 Server (Snow Leopard Only) ¶<http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.5.3#DefaultX11ServerSnowLeopardOnly>

Will always fink simply ignore XQuartz, as seems implied by your
statement above?

I ask these two questions because there is port in the Huntsville
Macintosh Users Group (http://www.hmug.org) of gnuplot.  Up to
now ----with 10.5.8, I have not yet jumped 10.6:  I installed
10.6.4 in copy of my hard disk on an external disk drive---- I have
been able to use fink's and hmug's gnuplot with no problem.

Do I have to

...disable /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist using
> launchctl(1)<http://developer.apple.com/Mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/launchctl.1.html>.

for fink applications that use X11 to work OK?  It
seems (Xquartz's quoted text) that each time I log in
(or restart the machine??) the "DISPLAY environment variable"
is set to point to XQuartz.

Best regards and thanks again,
Eduardo
