Be sure you are running the X11IRAF version described at
http://iraf.net/article.php/20081118030715468
This not only fixes the '24-bit problem', but also works around a known segfault on Mac where the lack of a /dev/imt1 fifo pipe causes the crash. To verify it is the pipe problem, try starting as
A pre-2.0 version would fail with a colormap X error even with the above.

I am still getting the same problem. Would you recommend unstalling my iraf nad trying again from scratch. Also I ran in from Terminal and this is the error message I got

Its not an IRAF install issue, reinstalling won't help.
If you can't even start an XClock or an XTerm then something's wrong with your X11 setup. You're supposed to be able to start an X command and X11 will start automatically, if that doesn't seem to be working try startiing X11 manually, and then in the XTerm that appears start the ximtool.

I have no problem when I ran xterm or xclock, from either terminal or X11, but once again when I try ximtool it crashes.

Did you try the '-inet_only' flag? Is this the V2.0 version? Does XGtern work?
gcardonav wrote on Apr 26, 2010
Yes xgterm works. I try also to run agin the -inet_only flag and it still crashes. I still get the same message from my mac

If you had to reset to 256 colors because you're using an old X11IRAF version, the error is probably an inconsistency in the original binary (build for Tiger or earlier).
Use the V2.0 version I mentioned and reset your preferences to 'millions' of colors.

I reinstalled the new version of X11iraf and set the colors to millions or display and I am getting the following error:
I am not sure how to get to check the Xserver and when I launch xinit i get the following message
Thanks for the help

v% ximtool -inet_only
ERROR: Detected incorrect X visual: depth=24 class=TrueColor
XImtool currently requires an 8-bit PseudoColor visual in order
to operate properly. Unfortunately the only workaround for this
at present is to start an 8-bit server using commands such as
% startx -- -bpp 8 # XFree86 V3.x
% startx -- -depth 8 # XFree86 V4.x
% Xsun :0 -dev /dev/fb defclass PseudoColor defdepth 8 # Sun
% Xdec -vclass0 PseudoColor # Digital Unix
The actual commands used will vary depending on the platform,
window manager/desktop used, and in some cases video hardware.
See the Xserver(1) and xinit(1) man page for details. Users should
also contact IRAF site support (iraf@noao.edu) with any questions
or problems.
I am not sure how to get to check the Xserver and when I launch xinit i get the following message
% xinit
launch_msg("CheckIn") IPC failure: Operation not permittedThanks for the help

That's NOT the v2.0 version I posted earlier, that's the message from the older version.

ERROR: Detected incorrect X visual: depth=24 class=TrueColorwhen I try it with Millions but when I try the 256 colors it crashes. What I am not sure if when I install the x11iraf and I try opening ximtool the code is pointing to some other version. Also what are the differences between ximtool, ximtool-alt, and ximtool-old.

What could be happening is that you have multiple versions installed, but your path is picking up the old version before the new one. Try:
If the '-version' flag isn't recognized or prints any other string, its the old version and the 'which' command will tell you where it is. Be sure the new version overwrites the old, or if you're using something like scisoft that the setup path isn't getting ou the old one.
% ximtool -version
Version: X11IRAF V2.0 - DEVELOPMENT VERSION
% which ximtool
/usr/local/bin/ximtool

Yes you are right, it's pointing towards the all version. How can I get the it to point out to the correct version in the sci folder.

/usr/local/bin/ximtoolMike Fitzpatrick wrote on Apr 26, 2010
Either copy the proper version to /usr/local/bin, remove the /usr/local/bin version and is the 'sci' directory isn't in your path make it a link, or alias the 'ximtool' command to be the full path to the proper version.
