Hi Chris,

I had the same issue when I first installed SCIRun on a OS X 10.9 machine.
You’re correct — X11 has not been supported since 10.6, and Xquartz should be
the default xterm application.

The error appears to be a failure of the system to check the installation
state of xterm when items are run from the Applications menu. A simple
re-install of Xquartz should fix the problem.

More details here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/815

Best of luck!

This is strange because I have Xquartz installed and it’s working fine. It
appears that the operating system is trying to use X11 as the default xterm
application, which is no longer distributed with OSX. Does anyone know a
workaround for this? Thanks.
