[esp-r] problem in opening models in text mode

[Gian Luca Brunetti]

Dear all,
I am writing to ask for advice about how to solve a problem I am encountering in opening models in text mode with the last versions of ESP-r. I may be having this problem from quite some time, but I have just noticed it now.
It seems that when I try opening a model in text mode, ESP-r, after re-launching the project manager as it does in graphic mode, does not find Xterm, then detects an an input error and exits. I paste here below the text feed from the terminal.
I have verified that the problem takes place in more than one PC (all of them Ubuntu 20.04 installed), and also when ESP-r is compiled for text-only interface. I am using in all cases versions compiled from source, due to library incompatibilities.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Gian Luca
