answered myself; standard Mac OS X 10.3.7 install does not install X11, To install, goto Apple site: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/

and download / install package. The install is semi automatic with a few clicks on "i agree". Reboot, and Self 4.2.1 dragged Demo.snap to SelfDroplet works.

Hope this helps, John

Did this ever get addressed around /usr/X11R6?

I run OS X 10.3.7, downloaded Self 4.2.1 from April 2004, and draged the Demo.snap to SelfDroplet and got the error:

Self.app/Contents/MacOS/Self can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No

such

file or directory, errno = 2)

Thoughts? John Blue innovationcreation@y...

The previous (4.2) release works on my G3 iBook running Panther. But 4.2.1 crashes at startup with

Self VM fatal error (/Users/adamspitz/tryingToRelease2/Working_on_VM/ put_contents_in_Self_dir/vm/src/any/runtime/nlrSupport.cpp, line 172): nonLifoAbortPC is zero

I tried it yesterday on a eMac but didn't even get as far as you did because it complained about a missing X11 library. Indeed, that machine doesn't even have a /usr/X11R6 directory. Is this supposed to be included in a standard Panther installation?

Version 4.2 runs just fine on that computer, so this requirement seems to have been added in version 4.2.1.
