i thought i had followed the instructions at the website. my ~/.profile: # # Your previous .profile (if any) is saved as .profile.dpsaved # Setting the path for DarwinPorts. export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh export DISPLAY=:0 export EDITOR=emacs my /etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc: #!/bin/sh # $Id: xinitrc,v 1.1.1.1 2005/02/24 22:35:39 akosut Exp $ userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap # needed for X11 appst source ~/.profile # merge in defaults and keymaps ... it appears my .bashrc was not deleted, just empty. now that i've deleted it, "open-x11 gnucash" works from the terminal. i still can't run it from the x11 menu. almost there. :) if using open-x11 works from butler, i probably won't care about getting it to work from the x11 menu. --- Mark Duling" <mark.duling@biola.edu wrote: zoarre.37258548@bloglines.com writes:

i opened up an xterm window and just as you described, the PATH doesn't include anything from /opt/local. how do you recommend i fix this?
Did you do as it says here:
1) Have a file called ~/.profile with this in it:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
export DISPLAY=:0 export EDITOR=/usr/bin/pico (or your favorite editor)
2) your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file should have this line in it:
source ~/.profile
And get rid of your previous .bashrc file.
