java broken? cant install jedit
 
I installed slackware9.1 very recently
I dled the jedit41install.jar file from the offical website
then
Code:

root@MOFETTE:/slackpack# java -jar jedit41install.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
