Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) $DISPLAY issues

Post by cam022408 »

I recently updated to the new version of OSX and my Wine installation stopped working. Whenever I treid to run a windows application with Wine it would give me the following error:

Code: Select all

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
After much research I have found that you need to download both the new Xcode from the App Store (free) and the X11 package from http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/do ... -2.7.2.dmg as it is no longer bundled with OSX. After you install XQuartz you must log out in order for the changes to take effect. I hope that this helps anyone who has had the same problem I did.

Wine version doesn't matter... XQuartz 2.7.2 is the current preferred X11 version to run Wine with on OSX. There is a 2.7.3 RC1 that doesn't seem like it has problems either and is close to the same as WineskinX11 in Wineskin 2.5.6.
