Copy/paste of above commands into Terminal fixes things. Same error was produced on launch in XOP window, and this allows the program to be run. I just wanted to confirm that this fix also works for XOP 2.4 (ESRF/APS X-ray program that uses IDL for calculations). If I ssh -X to a server via terminal, I can launch xeyes (but without animation of the iris) but I can not launch any other x-app or generally no application with. Hey guys, I have got a problem with XQuartz 2.7.11 and Sierra (latest). This was a great fix for me (Sierra 10.12.5) IDL 8.2. If you need to back out of this, do: sudo mv /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib: open() failed with errno=13 Referenced from: /Applications/exelis/idl85/bin/86_64/libidl.8.5.dylib dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib This created a different, worse issue for me as now IDL will not load at all. Thanks for finding the simple fix to run idl with xquartz, but how did you find it out ?Īpril 14th, 2017 at 10:37 Another Mac user at NCAR/HAO ran into this problem and our IT person found this solution, I believe other X11 applications were having this same problem. Thank you Michael, this just saved my life. But after upgrading to macOS Sierra, the only way I can make the widget to have a satisfactory response rate is to set the color output to 256, which breaks the colors.

Often the installer will be the limiting factor and, once installed, IDL will work fine.ĭoes anyone have an idea on how to speed up the X11 response? I had the same widget running on a Linux and OS X Mavericks.
If you have problems with graphical installer, try the Unix-Mac installer. How far are you looking to go back? I would guess that IDL 8+ should be fine. I don’t know the IDL versions that are supported on 10.12.2. I’m on the latest version 10.12.3, but probably was on 10.12.2 when I first did this command.

Just another silly question: what’s the version of your IDL and MACOS Sierra? I upgraded my MAC to the os version 10.12.2, can I install idl on my OS? If so, Which version of IDL is the lowest requirement? Thanks! So if someone can tell me where I should type in both commands (xterm or terminal), I will be really appreciative.Īny local terminal should fine just fine. I use that two commands and may envi 4.8 return to work. Your solution works well! Thank you so much!! Slightly different solution to the same issue. I blindly (knowingly) to 2.7.11 and IDL8.4/.5 would not launch. Thank you very much! Your solution worked for me as well.įor me, the error occurred when using a CW_FORM, and the message was “Error: Unresolved inheritance operation”. 29 Responses to “Problems with XQuartz 2.7.11 on macOS”
