After many hours, after installing another Perl 5.8.8 that is already installed via Active-Perl, the software was built. I added xterm 2.37. Without a ~/.xserverrc file (X :0 -dpi 96) Console displays: X11.app: main(): argc=2 argv[0] = /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 argv[1] = -psn_0_16252929 Waiting for startup parameters via Mach IPC.

The original one form /usr/X11R6/bin works. With my German keyboard layout the alt/Option key does not seem to work. []|\{}~ do not exist. Instead Console shows for some keys: DarwinPressModifierKey bad keycode: key=7 DarwinPressModifierKey bad keycode: key=7 When I remove my .xmodmaprc file it's better. MacPorts also installed a faulty ~/.tcshrc file. The new X server produces sounds, trying to signal I made an error. In GNU Emacs 23.0.60 the shell does not work correctly: after a RETurn the cursor is not placed right of prompt but is left at the left end or beginning of the line, i.e., "before" the cursor. -- Greetings Pete The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"
