[Xastir] _XmGetDefaultDisplay cannot be used

[Dick Repasky]

Hi All,

I've compiled Xastir 195 May 2009 on a Mac running OS 10.4 and MacPorts, 
using instructions in the Xastir wiki and openmotif.  All the 
dependencies and Xastir compile just fine, but when I start xastir from 
an xterm I get the following error.

_XmGetDefaultDisplay cannot be used prior to VendorS.Initialize, returns 
NULL
Error: Couldn't find per display information

Googling, I couldn't resolve the issue other than to find out that two 
independent sources link the issue to the Xt library. One of them said 
the following.

     What does the error "Couldn't find per display information"

     mean?

     Answer: Xt often needs information about the current X display.  It 

     generates this error when it couldn't find the display pointer.
     Common causes applications accidentally destroying widgets twice or
     trying to generate fake, incomplete events with XSendEvent().

When I build rxvt using macports and run it from an xterm, it starts 
just fine.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?  Any ideas?

Thanks,
