#14120: Error installing ghostview -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: ajf@afco.demon.co.uk | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by ajf@afco.demon.co.uk): The addition of the the line 'export DISPLAY=:0.0' to the '.profile' file (as instructed) messes up X11.app v 2.1.3. Specifically, when X11.app is double-clicked, two X11 Icons are installed in the dock. It then takes two goes of 'cmd-Q' to get X11 to quit. Removing that line from '.profile. resolves the X11 problem. This raises another question. There was 117MB of stuff in /opt/local/. Now is that from the installations of MacPorts, or left over from the failed installation of gv? I have removed the entire /opt directory for the time being in order to return to the original state of affairs. I trust this is clear and look forward to your comments. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14120#comment:3> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
