Hi, im not still very good at programming, i installed IRAF on MacOS Sierra but i can't get the terminal to open xgterm, it just keeps anouncing
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.4.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/xgterm
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

Can someone help me? I'm desperate

I am also having the same problem now. I wonder if you may have found solutions to this?

Or others have answer to this?

Thanks

Post back if you still have problems.

Dear Fitz,

This problem persists when upgrading to Mojave.
When trying to start xgterm from bash,

Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/xgterm

I wonder if you know about solving the iraf launch in Mojave system?

Thanks

Hi,

I use the following alias, which works on High Sierra and Mojave



-ls is to launch xgterm a a login shell, -sb for the scrollbar.

It however gives me the following error message

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/x11/lib && /usr/local/bin/xgterm -ls -sb
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.4.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/xgterm
Reason: image not found

Can you check if you have the libXpm.4.dylib in the /usr/x11/lib/ directory?

This how it shows in my Mac:



I think this library (and others required by xgterm) belong to the XQuartz package, so perhaps you might need to update or reinstall it.
