Very Computer

I have installed the whole tcl/tk disks (t series) from slackware 3.1
with kernel 2.0.20. Then I downloaded tkdesk source (lastest version)
and compiled/installed it successfully (no errors). However, when I
tried to run tkdesk, I got an error message saying 'no display name and
no $DISPLAY environment variable'. so did WISH. I tried to setup
$DISPLAY environment variable by using export DISPALY=vt100, and failed.
How can I setup $DISPLAY correctly in order to run tkdesk and ical (not
even compiling)? Do I have to install tcl/tk from source code? How I can
test if tcl/tk has been installed correctly?

I have tcl verion 7.5 and tk version 4.1

thanks in advance

        you're getting mixed up with the TERM variable. DISPLAY is used
by X11 programs to automatically set which X display to use. Your X
scripts should be setting this variable automatically, to ':0' (if it's
on the local machine). Are you using the supplied 'startx' or 'openwin'
scripts to start X? I have slackware 3.0, so I don't know if there are
any differences.

hope this helps
