It seems that xfig crashes with macports now. I don't know if its the new beta version (3.2.5-alpha5) or if its something with macports, because it worked fine with darwin. Basically what happens is that if you to click on the 'File','Edit','View','Snap', or 'Help' tabs it pulls down a blank list and then crashes with this message in the portal:
color = '#ffcccc'
xfig3.2.5: SIGBUS signal trapped xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting Abort trap
Here is the fix (from Brian Smith, xfig developer):
X11 vendors are using the newer version of the 3D Xaw widget set, 1.5e, which is not compatible with the original 3D Xaw widget set. What you need to do is edit the xfig Imakefile and uncomment this line:
XCOMM #define XAW3D1_5E
by removing the "XCOMM". Then do "xmkmf" and "make clean" then "make install".
Thanks. I searched the issue tracker and found two bugs for this issue, one of which contains this fix: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12335 http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12044 I'm Cc'ing the xfig maintainer on this email. I'm also testing now whether this fix works.
