hi all,

i've built XOrg v6.8.99.8 on OSX 10.4.1.

my "world.log" _seems_ to be error free, and my XDarwin binaries look OK:

% cd /usr/local/X11R6-XORG/bin
% ls -al XDarwin XDarwinStartup XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin
	-rwxr-xr-x  1 root staff 3981368 May 29 03:40 XDarwin

XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin
	-rwxr-xr-x  1 root staff   17564 May 29 03:40 XDarwinStartup

% otool -L XDarwin XDarwinStartup XDarwin.app/Contents/MacOS/XDarwin

		/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version

however, trying:

	% ./startx

simply results in (in shell):

	2005-05-29 13:58:06.796 XDarwin[493] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting
	giving up.
	xinit:  Connection refused (errno 61):  unable to connect to X server
	xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

as does dubl-clicking XDarwin.app (in Console log):

	2005-05-29 13:59:34.330 XDarwin[498] Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting

i've googled a bit, to no avail (yet) ...

any pointers would be much appreciated!

cheers,

richard
