Opening ISpy

CMS chat

Does anyone else get this message when they try to open ispy?
[lxplus203] ~ > chmod +x ispy
[lxplus203] ~ > ./ispy
Reading default views.
Fontconfig warning: no elements found. Check configuration.
Fontconfig warning: adding /usr/share/fonts/fonts.cache-1
Fontconfig warning: adding ~/.fontconfig
ispy: Fatal IO error: client killed
I also tried doing the wget thing beforehand but that didn’t work either.

For all Mac users,

Take a moment to check out the Cyberduck application at http://cyberduck.ch/ to make things a little more convenient with server connections and directories.

It is also recommended that you use this in conjunction with Aquamacs at http://aquamacs.org/.
