Please close. I've resolved it by updating my X11 on my port.

I'm still getting this same error:
Error: Shell widget nedit has zero width and/or height

I'm using XQuartz 2.7.11
macosx 10.9.5

I tried to fix the problem following instructions on the README file:

1. editing the Makefile.macosx file so that it's pointing to the correct Motif libraries headers.
2. then I ran "make macosx" in the root directory of my nedit folder

and got the following error:

[akwl:~/Software/nedit/nedit-5.7] adelaine% make macosx

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -f Makefile.macosx libNUtil.a)

======================

Any help would greatly appreciated. I've used nedit for years when I was in grad school. It's super annoying that I can't get it to work anymore.
