Your shell doesn't care about libxml at all - not sure what you mean here. If dcgui can't find it, then try using "rehash" or just opening a new terminal window and try from there. Oh, and it's actually libxml2, so make sure you installed that version.

It's really not that hard.
With an active internet connection, start X11, open an XTerm, and type the following:
ok well i got it working but its not what i expected it to be.... It doesnt really register my share.... the GUI is ugly... and the list goes on... but it was cool that i finally got it to work.

Works just fine for me.

While I also don't particularly like DCGUI's looks, I think that at least from the usability point of view, its GUI is nowhere even near as horrible as the NeoModus client's one.

Hmmm, I just add the folders in Options->Sharing. Maybe you only have aliases or links to some of your stuff in the shared directory? I guess dcgui would at least not understand aliases. Or maybe wrong permissions? Other than that I really don't know why it wouldn't work for you.

<strong>How do I get DCGUI to run under X11? If I used the Mac OS X Binary of DCGUI would work? How do I get the source to compile and run under X11?
</strong><hr></blockquote>
Just get the latest binary snapshot for OS X from dc.ketelhot.de. Then use fink to install QT and libxml, and you should be good to go.

... as I said in my first reply.

With an active internet connection, start X11, open an XTerm, and type the following:
[code]
sudo fink install qt3
sudo fink install libxml2
curl <a href="http://dcgui.berlios.de/files/dcgui/snapshot/macosx/dcgui-macosx-snapshot.gz"; target="_blank">http://dcgui.berlios.de/files/dcgui/snapshot/macosx/dcgui-macosx-snapshot.gz</a>; | gunzip > dcgui
chmod a+x dcgui
./dcgui

Unless I forgot something, this should result in DCGUI starting up.
