X11 Graphics Env problems on Linux RedHat

[Jody Schofield]

Was anyone had problems using Batik on Linux RedHat?  I have an SVG image that i'm rendering into an image that can be displayed in eclipse (SWT).  Here is a snippet of the stack trace I'm getting:

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY
variable.

The DISPLAY env var is not :0.0.  At first I thought it might be an AWT/SWT issue so I created the following test but that seems to work fine.

        BufferedImage buff = new BufferedImage(10, 10, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
        Graphics2D graphics = buff.createGraphics();
        graphics.dispose();

any and all help appreciated.

regards,
