AFNI GUI fails to open following macOS 13 update

Hi,

I’m trying to run AFNI using XQuartz 2.7.11 on my mac which I just updated to macOS 13.0. Before this iOS update, AFNI ran normally. Now when I call AFNI from my terminal, the GUI doesn’t open. Instead, I get the message below. Has anyone run into this and been able to fix it?

Thanks very much,
Anna


Precompiled binary macos_10.12_local: Oct 12 2022 (Version AFNI_22.3.02 'Lucius Verus')


** Version check disabled: AFNI_VERSION_CHECK forbids
Thanks go to ZS Saad for much encouragement

Initializing: X11++ AFNI is detached from terminal.

Hello,

Could you post the output of the following command?


afni_system_check.py -check_all

Here is the output:

========================= summary, please fix: =========================

  • just be aware: login shell ‘zsh’, but our code examples use ‘tcsh’

Try updating XQuartz to the latest version (now 2.8.2) and restart.

Thanks for that! I would suggest you update XQuartz to the newest version and restart your machine. That should fix it. But let me know!

Also looks like homebrew may need to either update or reinstall.

Just to follow up, updating X11 and brew and then restarting my computer fixed this issue.

Thanks very much!
Anna
