X11 variable prob with Java on Slack 10.2

jayn16 · 05-30-2006, 03:01 AM

Java source code compiles with no problems.
But while running it (java filename), it gives error :
X11 DISPLAY variable not set.

I`ve used AWT in my Java program, using Slackware 10.2

P.S. PATH variable has also been set

Are you running X? If you are running it remotely, did you forward X or something?

I assume you are running in an X environment. Then, if you are running it as a remote user (or by su to any other user..) make sure you have done
<code> xhost + </code>
on the local machine and then cahnge the DISPLAY environmental variable to local machine.

Soemthing like this

mymachine> xhost +
...
thatmachine> setenv DISPLAY mymachine:0.0

After that run your problem.

I`m running KDE. I`m not running it remotely.
However the program runs perfectly using netbeans 5.0.
