Look in /etc/hosts, make sure the line:

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain

exists. Otherwise, that's a cryptic error message and will be hard to track down.

Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't
connect to display "localhost:10.0"
% [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

That would be correct for tunneled X11 over SSH.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# export DISPLAY=toto:0.0

Ooops, look out! We're not in Kansas anymore! (Sorry, I tried to resist as long as I could).

Are you on any sort of IM program or in the IRC channel at all? Well, I can't IRC from here at work at the moment, but I can do a couple flavours of IM...Let me know and I'll see what I can do about helping you. A good shot would be to look at /etc/hosts though, 'cause if that localhost line is missing it could cause all sorts of grief.

Cheers,
