I have a software(Fulprof suite ) which should run on Xquartz. When I open my software I always get the massage "Cannot find the application xquartz on your computer" even though I have already installed it in my computer?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
Did you upgrade XQuartz to version 2.8.0? It is Universal Binary compatible with Intel & Apple Silicon.
In looking at the latest version of FullProf4Mac it still has an Intel binary. I have no idea if FullProf4Mac runs properly on M1 Macs as it would need to be compatible under Rosetta2.
FullProf4Mac:
Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 (Intel)
Quartz X11:
X11 (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 (Intel)
X11 (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64 (Apple Silicon)

Thank you @James Brickley. Yes I have the latest version but I am not sure about the compatibility.
I tried to run FullProf4Mac using Rosetta but it didn't work.
Also I tried to reach FullProf Suite's support team but still no reply.
Thank you for the information.
This kind of thing is pretty common with these academic apps.
The Mac app is just a wrapper around the command-line tools, which are installed inside the app.
You can run it from the Terminal. Execute the following command:
export PATH=/Applications/FullProf4Mac.app/Contents/Resources/FullProf_Suite:$PATH
Then run the command:
tfp
to start the "toolbar". I'm unfamiliar with this app, so I assume the toolbar is all you need to get started.
You can add the above command to your shell startup scripts.
If you want to get the app working again, open the file /Applications/FullProf4Mac.app/Contents/Resources/FullProf4Mac.sh and change line 188 from:
set versionX11Str_curr to GetAppVersionStr(appNameX11)
to
set versionX11Str_curr to "2.8.1" -- GetAppVersionStr(appNameX11)
I strongly recommend using BBEdit (https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/) to edit any file like this. If you are familiar with the Terminal, you could use vim or your favourite Terminal editor.
Note that this is a "hack", not a "fix".
Thank you @etresoft
