Re: [Visualpython-users] Eclipse and vpython on Mac

[Aaron T. <ti...@ma...>]

I fixed it. I was wrong about the error that I was getting from  
Eclipse. It said "cannot open display:"  without the ":0.0" which  
meant that my DISPLAY environment variable wasn't being set (unlike  
in my shell profile in Terminal).

Thus, in the Eclipse Run configuration, I clicked the Environment tab  
and added the DISPLAY=:0.0 environment variable.

Now, I can run vpython programs from Eclipse on a Mac, and I am one  
happy guy.

Is anyone else using Eclipse for coding vpython?
