Hi-

This is an X11 issue.

The GrADs 1.9b4 binary from download page should work <http://
www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html>. Is this what you are using?

Do any other X-windows programs work? What does "xeyes" return? What
does "echo $DISPLAY" return?


By the way, you can start X-windows applications either from an xterm
(what I assume folks mean by starting from X11) or from the
Terminal.app; I vastly prefer the Terminal.app. To use Terminal, you
need to set the DISPLAY environment in your .login In tcsh, put this
in .login:

if ( $?REMOTEHOST == 0 && $?TERM_PROGRAM == 1) setenv DISPLAY :0.0

For bash, you need something like "export DISPLAY=:0.0" in .bashrc
Then take xterm out of .xinitrc and never see the ugly thing again.
