Hi Rick,
Thank you for your response.

Yes, the user has X11 (2.7.9) running on his machine. What’s odd is that he can run it on a remote machine and it works.
It seems that the problem is just on his local machine.

Thanks,
Angel

Hi,

You are able to run X11 clients from your user's host on *your* machine, but does your user have XQuartz installefd on *their* machine? (I'm sorry -- I'm not near a Mac at the moment to test how it behaves if attempting to run an X11 client without the server installed(?)).

Maybe that helps?
Rick

Hello Everyone,
I’m at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a user that is having problems running idt locally on his machine.

He gets:
Error: Couldn't find per display information

He is running:
MacOS 10.10.5
X11 2.7.9
ncl-6.2.0
Xcode 6.4 Build version 6E35b
gcc version 4.8.2 (MacPorts gcc48 4.8.2_2)
X11 forwarding is enabled in sshd_config and ssh_config

I’m able to ssh to his machine and xclock and xterm popup on my machine, so it doesn’t seem to be an issue with X11 forwarding.


Many thanks in advance,
Angel
