Teaching AFNI here at Wash U (St Louis), we’ve seen a few people with a peculiar problem: they can’t type into AFNI popup windows, such as “Jumpto xyz”.
The solution to this difficulty is to set an environment variable:
which applies when you are using a new version of the XQuartz server program. I’ve not seen this symptom before.
The best place to set this variable is in your ~/.cshrc file, so that it gets set for every invocation of the shell. If you are using bash :-S then you will have to use a slightly different syntax to set the environment variable.
Another work-around, though not ideal, is to install an older version of XQuartz. I finally did it this morning after being fed-up with the weird AFNI behavior (i.e. crash after closing a sub-window, etc).
Here is what I have:
OS X Yosemite v10.10.5
XQuartz 2.7.7
Note, this might have consequences for other software but I haven’t run into anything yet.
Setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace seems to fix AFNI and 1dplot crashing issues.
I am using macOS 10.12.3 and XQuartz 2.7.11. Homebrew and AFNI macosx_10.10_icc are the latest version as of today.
