Problem running make xconfig


Hi.

I'm a relative newbie to linux, but it's only today I got my broadband connected so it's the first time my new Suse 9 has been on the web.. I thought I would try and follow the topic on getting 3D acceleration working for my 9600XT card..
However, I've hit a problem in the kernel stage, which I can't see in my initial search.
When I type

$ make xconfig

I get the following error.

rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/scripts'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkcond.o tkcond.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkgen.o tkgen.c
gcc -o tkparse tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o
cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk
echo "set defaults \"arch/i386/defconfig\"" >> kconfig.tk
echo "set ARCH \"i386\"" >> kconfig.tk
cat tail.tk >> kconfig.tk
chmod 755 kconfig.tk
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/scripts'
wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk
Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Error in startup script: invalid command name "button"
while executing
"button .ref"
(file "scripts/kconfig.tk" line 51)

make: *** [xconfig] Error 1


Can anyone help me find a solution for this?
Many thanks in advance
Nigel

Yep.. That works...

Is there an icon for realising you should have thought of something first??

Thanks
