Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

On fresh install of OSX 10.12, followed macports migrate instructions for fresh install of macports and uninstalled all ports. xQuartz runs fine. Then install one port (e.g. xterm), and I seem to get conflicts with the system libraries: now xQuartz no longer runs:

This suggests that the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set. Have you done that deliberately, perhaps in your shell startup file (~/.profile)? If so, remove that environment variable.

Yep, user error. Don't do that. Go tell whoever told you to do that that they were wrong. Have them tell whoever told them that they were wrong. Please help eliminate the misuse of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
