Run X11 and command line apps using open
Authored by: ar on Feb 23, '04 05:27:25PM
The tip seems to imply that X11 apps will launch the X server. Instead they get opened in Terminal.app:
$ open /opt/local/bin/ethereal
(other terminal window opens, and the following is automatically entered:)
$ /opt/local/bin/ethereal; exit

(ethereal:803): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:  
logout
[Process completed]
OK so what am I missing?

Run X11 and command line apps using open

This is my output :
[Ninjakoala:~] trez% open /opt/local/bin/x64
[Ninjakoala:~] trez%

(X11 launches of course)

Maybe you aren't using Apple's X11?
Or 10.3?
