[NTLUG:Discuss] Slackware and Ximian Gnome

[Patrick Parks]

Thanks for noticing :) Still getting a similar error. Would be nice to
be able to have the username back in the prompt and the current
directory, but another project that is. The funny thing is that I ran
the Netscape 7.0 installer in close to the same manner on the same
computer su to root, and I did not get this error. I really would only
like to get the current version of evolution, red-carpet would be nice
also, but I really dont use gnome anymore after dicovering Windowmaker.
I just miss the ability to update the software so easily, and do not see
any tarballs for the latest version of evolution on Ximians site. Thanks
again!

Error!

The Ximian Desktop Installer is a graphical application, and
either you have no DISPLAY variable set or the root user does not
have permission to access your X server.  Run 'xhost +localhost'
before becoming root, and make sure that the DISPLAY variable is
set correctly before running the go-gnome script.


Cleaning up temporary files... done.
