Hello!

  I'm trying to use an alert panel via the NXRunAlertPanel function, but
  I get the following message on the console:

     Aug 29 22:45:56 cheddar syslog: Cannot load Interface Builder file:
     /usr/lib/NextStep//AlertPanel.nib

  I did notice that there are two /'s before AlertPanel.nib in the
  path. Is this a known problem with 2.1? or am I using it the wrong
  way. I'm trying to call this function in a non-Objective-C program
  that does not use any nib or fancy things like that. Heck, this is the
  only appkit call that I make. Here's the call:

     NXRunAlertPanel(NULL, "GrapeVine: loaded", NULL, NULL, NULL);

  Nothing fancy here. Do I need to actually make an NXApp and run the
  event loop and all that to get it to work? Oh, I almost forgot, I'm
  running 2.1 on an '030 cube. I also checked for the nib and it's there
  and is readable by everybody.

I'd say that you need to be an NXApp to call NXRunAlert since it sets up a  
modal event loop, which implies there must be an event loop to filter.

One workaround is to write a (very) small app which takes as a command line  
argument some message text.  The app would just call NXRunAlert and then quit.
