Thanks to everyone, especially Nigel. I can now run the graphics from my
mac onto the head node. Next step is to see if I can get the compute nodes
to display the image.
Short synopsis of the steps:
On the head node:
1. Edit /etc/X11/fs/config to
a. include the paths to the Mathematic fonts under catalogue=
b. Comment out #no-listen = tcp
2. Restart xfs "service xfs restart"
3. Edit the iptables to allow tcp connections to port 7100
4. Restart iptables "service iptables restart"
On the local mac where ted is the head node on the server
xfsinfo -server ted:7100
xset +fp tcp/ted:7100
xset fp rehash
xset q
ssh -Y ted
Glad you got it sorted.
The only reason I know how to do this is because I went through exactly
the same learning curve when we got Mathematica. Users wanted to run it
on the compute server (ccNUMA, not a cluster), with display on their
PC's. So it was necessary to figure out how to serve the fonts for PC X
servers (Exceed, and later NX).
Good luck with Mathematica on the cluster. That's not an area where I
have any expertise.
