Also, we discussed this problem right here less than two weeks
ago, it seems to me. Check the archives.

Cheers,

Thank you for your help, Mr. Fanning. It doesn't seem to be a DISPLAY
environment problem as X11 programs are working and I have a line in my
.cshrc to set the DISPLAY variable. In the archive, Xavi Llort seemed
to have a similar problem, but unfortunately it seems he find a a
solution.

So far, I've tried reinstalling both X11 and IDL but I still getting
the segmentation fault error. It's got my department's tech support
stumped as well. I don't know what to do next except reinstall MacOS X
back to 10.4.6.

I've read that article and searched the archives. I'm using IDL 5.6 on
a Intel MacBook. X11 programs work fine, but IDL is segfaulting
nonetheless.

If DISPLAY is :0.0 then xeyes works and IDL segfaults

If DISPLAY is 0:0 then IDL will run but provides error messages when
trying to access the display, like so:

_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for 0:6000: No address
associated with nodename
% Unable to connect to X Windows display: 0:0


Any advice?

This just started yesterday when I upgraded to 10.4.8.

-k.
