[Magic-dev] Xcircuit: seg fault on OS X 10.4

Here's a followup.  It appears that the problem is that xcircuit wants to
start "wish", which is part of tcl/tk.  But, the version of wish running on
OS X tiger runs under aqua, the standard Mac windowing system.  It appears
that I need an X11 version of wish.  Any suggestions about how to get this?

Thanks,

John
