I was trying to run IDV >remotely. So, this morning I tried to run IDV locally and it started up >okay with no errors this time. However, I am not seeing a "Test" menu? I >put the file you sent me into $HOME/.metapps/DefaultIdv/defaultmenu.xml so >I'm not sure what's going on (as usual). It seems like your setup is not what we think. So, let's attack this from a different approach. Where does $HOME point to? What are the dates on the files in that directory? I'm thinking that we are looking at the wrong user's files. Is it possible for you to just reinstall the IDV again? If so, let me know if that changes anything. If not, please let me know: 1) the username you are running under 2) the location of $HOME 3) are you running the IDV on the same machine it was installed on? Thanks.
