If X11 does not appear under the Applications->Utilities Menu, then you will definitely need to install XQuartz. </div><div>2. If you do have libX11.6.dlylib under /usr/X11/lib/, then you should try setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/X11/lib and see if that fixes things.</div><div>3. If setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable doesn't solve your problem, then you will need to get to know the MacPorts Project (<a href="http://www.mactports.org">http://www.mactports.org</a>). MacPorts will effortlessly install all kinds of utilities, programs, and software libraries on your system. MacPorts puts everything under /opt/local/. </div><div><br></div><div>Great news -- I have just discovered that MacPorts has a port for GrADS! A special shout-out of thanks to 'takeshi' and 'ryandesign' -- they are the ones who have set it up. As I am writing, it is installing the supplibs...</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, when I built the GrADS executables for distribution, I linked dynamically with the X11 library installed by MacPorts under /opt/local/lib/, not the native X11 under /usr/X11/lib/. I really can't say whether I did that on purpose or not. I often switch back and forth between the two during testing to make sure that both are working properly. And since X11 support will not be a part of native OSX in the future, it's just as well to get started using MacPorts because that will probably be the way many third-party tools will be supported in the future. </div><div><br></div><div>--Jennifer</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Sep 13, 2013, at 2:10 PM, Lynnes, Christopher S.
