[daip] Problems in setting up AIPS in a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.3

[Miguel Ángel Pérez Torres]

Dear Eric and Wes,

You were right that I needed not to set the DISPLAY and also not to modify the xxSERVERS files, but only for the case of "setenv AIPS_TEK_EMULATOR xterm". And, of course, I can only make run AIPS if I use the "aips tv=local" option; otherwise it gets stuck (any hint as to how could I solve this?). 

However,  If I still use the "setenv AIPS_TEK_EMULATOR xgterm" (which I would like to have, as "xterm" results in funny labels), then I get the following message from the xgterm:

xgterm: Can't execvp setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP:/Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LIBR/INTELCMP ; /Users/torres/aips/31DEC10/MACINT/LOAD/TKSRV1
procida<1>% 

And removing the "setenv" commands, as mentioned in my previous email, results in this message:

xgterm:  bad command line option "-e"

So I can run AIPS, but without the tvserver.

Thanks in advance,
Miguel
