Don,
Usually when idt gets a "translator aborted" error message, this means
that something is wrong with the "ictrans" application, since this is
the application that idt uses to display the graphics.
You should test that ictrans was built and that it is working
properly. First, see if it exists:
% which ictrans
If ictrans doesn't exist, then this command will report something like
"ictrans: Command not found". If ictrans doesn't exist, then you
should look at your "make-output" file to see what happened when
ictrans was built.
If ictrans does exist, then try the following test:
% tgks0a
% ictrans -d X11 gmeta
ictrans> 1p
[This should pop up an X11 window with a graphic]
ictrans> quit
If this works, then something else is going on with idt, and you can
contact me personally and I'll try to help.
