Working in a remote computer

[Daniel Gómez Sánchez]

Hello,

I'm trying to use IGV in a remote MacOS computer connected by ssh with X11 forwarding allowed. Nevertheless, IGV throws a java.awt.HeadlessException and does not open the window in the computer where I'm working. I could open IGV with the shell script if I open the remote desktop and work there, but I want to use the X11 because the shared desktop does not work well. Here its the error obtained:

Do anybody knows how to make it run correctly?

Thank you very much.

Could you try running "xclock"?

Thanks for your answer Jim Robinson.

xclock and xeyes work fine...So the problem is not the XQuartz...

Then I don't know, but I am guessing you are missing some libraries required by Java.
