[ncl-talk] NCL installation

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

Did you explicitly install XQuartz? -- modern Macs don't come with an X11
environment preinstalled. That said, I can't recall just how problems
manifest if XQuartz is not present -- I don't remember if its that error
message or not.  If you have installed it, then let me know -- I look to
see where this message originates.
