xterm in preference to aterm
« on: December 21, 2011, 06:07:35 AM »
The app I wish to run (SSVNC) specifies a dependency on xterm, so it is loaded via Xprogs.tcz  Upon starting the app an error message is generated which seems to imply that aterm as opposed to xterm is being used, resulting in a failure.  If this is the case is it possible to force xterm over aterm?

Error log:

Yes, by installing xterm (which doesn't have an extension yet, AFAIK).

Does this mean that /usr/bin/xterm as supplied from Xprogs.tcz is insufficient?  Is it not actually xterm?

It is a symlink to aterm, as is the custom with apps that need a general terminal calling "xterm". In your case the app needs the actual xterm instead of just " a terminal", though.
