One will not be set. YOU SET it.... putenv(). SET the env var. THEN it exists. SET it. SET the env var! SET it. after it is is, it will exist. there will be an env var. how many times have i said this now? to set it... it just does not sink in... : ( let me repeat it yet again in case the multiple repetitions so far of "follow the first advice given... use putenv etc." didn't work: <font size=80 color=#ff0000><blink> YOU set the environment variable with putenv() exactly how i described using the content of the --display arguments display string which you already cleared indicated you have as pe->display that pinentry already parsed for you. make sure it's done BEFORE elm_init() is called. </blink></font> did the massive red blinking text help? (yes. i know it probably didn't actually present it that way - consider it a sign of frustration with someone who has an issue created by odd other software (gpg) that then gets help and repeatedly just ignores it). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
