It is not a very nasty bug. I just have to remember to start aquaterm first... and the only bugging idea is that it worked once... Ciao, Stefano

In my case, aquaterm opens automatically. I did set in my .cshrc (shell script initialization file), the variable PGPLOT_DEV=/AQT I do know that aquaterm started even automatically even when I was building horae using the pgplot in fink as well.

Paul
