Dear All,
            I am new to the mac and mac apps as well as not a techie
either. I am trying to install the latest version of demeter (artemis,
athena and heph) on my macbook using Mavericks OS. For this I followed the
steps given on the site with Macports installation, then its activation
step. and then I used terminal to connect and download the athena. However
there was error which I thought might because of not having the windowing
environment ( I am using all the words from site and dont know anything
what it means). So I clicked to download X11 from XQuartz site. After that
I logged out from terminal and logged in again. to check if anything
changes but the following message was observed (the complete message is
attached as word document but some part essentially the last portion
talking about the error is pasted below.
