[ncl-talk] Error: Couldn't find per display information ?

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Angel,

>From what I understand, your user can run X11 clients on remote hosts, but
can't run them locally?  That suggests a problem with the X11 server -- as
you likely know, normally on a Mac, the servers starts automatically
whenever a client is run.  Can the manually start the X11 server locally
from a command-line by the command "Xquartz"?    The man-page on Xquartz
indicates there are log file under ~/Library/Logs -- maybe there's a clue
there.  Wish I could be of more help...
