Trouble Evolution Downloading


Hi. I was trying to download Evolution from http://www.novell.com/products/evolution/download.html and when I run wget -q -O - http://go.ximian.com |sh shows me up:



==> Autodetecting system type...
==> Checking $DISPLAY and X permissions...

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-ximian script.

Cleaning up temporary files... done.


What could be wrong?

Im running Slackware 9.1

Thanks a lot.
