[gnome-core] Re: [Fwd: Gnome Start-up Error]

[LC <dc...@co...>]

I dunno whether my other 2 replies today will get into this ng
since I did them through gmane's website ... (now I'm doing it
via nntp) to make a long story short, I was able to get similar
errors again and fixed the situation by inserting ". /sw/bin/init.sh"
near the top of my  ~/.xinitrc  script.  My file (works good) now says:

   #!/bin/sh
   . /sw/bin/init.sh
   userresources=${HOME}/.Xresources
   usermodmap=${HOME}/.Xmodmap
   sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
   sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
   [ -f "${sysresources}" ] && xrdb -merge ${sysresources}
   [ -f "${sysmodmap}" ] && xmodmap ${sysmodmap}
   [ -f "${userresources}" ] && xrdb -merge ${userresources}
   [ -f "${usermodmap}" ] && xmodmap ${usermodmap}
   xterm &
   quartz-wm --only-proxy &
   gnome-session

(I squeezed blank lines and comments for brevity ... also, make
sure that the first line #! is left-indented and that you did
"chmod +x" on ~/.xinitrc if it didn't have execute bit set;)  Larry.
