Very Computer

On issuing command with root privileges:

./installer-rpm-glibc2.2-i386

on a Suse 7.3 system, I get the folowing messages:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Gtk-WARNING **:-cannot open display: :0.0

I am lost. Can anyone help?

TIA

Suse by default has the X security set up that way.

if you are starting X from the command line.
Logout of X.
Logout as a user
Login as root.
Restart X
Try again

if you are using the graphical login
Logout as that user
Login as root
Try again.

Hope this helps.

Does

# xhost +localhost

make any difference?
