[Nek5000-users] prex/pretex GUI not working

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Alex,

I recently installed prex on my MacBook pro (10.6.4) from the latest svn distribution.  It worked fine.  I wonder what the differences are between our setups. 

I compiled prex with gfortran (from fink) and gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664).

I have the SDK X11 stuff that Stefan mentioned earlier; this I got from the latest Xcode.  
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/X11
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11R6

My X11 is XQuartz 2.5.3 from 
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki

Is there something else I should check on my machine that might help?

--Mike
