    Hi all,
    new at this so bear with me...  I performed the one-step install for OS X 10.1 and at the end my xDarwin wouldn't start up, so I reinstalled it and now it loads.  The problem is that it gives me an error that the applications menu could not be loaded.
    Here is the output from the terminal:
    [lassch:~] root# startx -- -quartz

    Running in parallel with Mac OS X Quartz window server.

    This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
    way.  Bugs may be reported to XFree86@XFree86.Org and patches submitted
    to fixes@XFree86.Org.  Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions,
    please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository
    (http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs)

    XFree86 Version 4.1.99.1 / X Window System
    (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
    Release Date: xx October 2001
            If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
            newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
            reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ\)
    Operating System: Darwin
    Using keymapping provided in /System/Library/Keyboards/USA.keymapping.

    cat: /var/root/.Xauthority: No such file or directory
    zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/bin/cpp

    for some reason there is nothing in my console log?

    Also I am logged in as root when I tried to run this (if that makes a difference)

      Also I remembered when I installed by using:
      curl http://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/one_stop | csh 
      It gave me an error that said I needed to modify a file

      You must add the ${PREFIX}/AbiSuite/fonts directory to your X server's
      font path.  For XFree86, add the line:

      FontPath "${PREFIX}/AbiSuite/fonts/"

      in the "Files" section of your /etc/XF86Config file.
      If you use a different X server, please see its documentation on how to do
      this.

      Then re-start your X server.
        I don't know if this is need, but when I tried to look for it I couldn't find it anywhere in my /etc directory...?

        We have not yet taken the time to remove this message for Darwin, but it is not relavent to the Darwin installation, and it should be ignored.  Abiword is expected to work fine without path modifications.
