[Xfig hangs on start]

[Maxim Abalenkov]

Hello Christopher et al.,

Thank you very much for your help! It worked. I’m very glad to see the familiar old-school look of Xfig. I had it on my mind that something may be wrong with X11 server, but forgot about it. Thank you!

But when I try to launch it from the terminal it hangs. Nothing happens. Would you please help me to find the problem? I tried to “clean" the port and install it again, but it didn’t help. Thank you and have a good day ahead!
