[Ifeffit] No plot window in Athena/Demeter on Mac OS X Yosemite

Tue Sep 22 06:50:04 CDT 2015

Hi Raimundo (and Rémi),

I'm not a pro here but, have you installed xorg-server? It seems like your
$DISPLAY variables are not being set correctly. The problem might be
XQuartz. The demeter build from Macports doesn't know to use that X windows
server (everything is installed in different places) and is looking for the
macports version. Your $DISPLAY variable should be something with
org.macports rather than org.macosforge.xquartz:0. FWIW, xorg-server is
maintained by and updated with XQuartz.

Good luck,

Alison
