Hello,

I just installed gnome from gnomeslackbuild.org phew! it took soo long...

Anyways, after complete installation of gnome on Slackware 12.1 it is giving me following error when I type "gnome" command:

(gnome:2902): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

What should I do now?

Thanks for any help! Waiting for a quick reply!

Try xmwconfig and set it to Gnome and then type startx.

I have never installed gnome on Slack, but does it put a xinitrc.gnome file in /etc/X11/xinit? If so you may need to link it to xinitrc then try just typing startx.
