"Error: Can't open Display"
What is the problem ???
I want a simple program .. which must be able to exec a xclock on
desktop ':0' ... when I run the program from text terminal (tty) logged
in as root !
Thanks in advance !!!!

Set environment variable DISPLAY to a proper value in your text terminal.
This will solve your problem. The command will be as follows,
export DISPLAY=host_ip_where_display_is_needed:0.0

you can use setenv() function to set this value from your c code.
Thanx boss... it worked !!!!! You solved a big problem... I got stuck on it since last three huors !!!! Thanx again !!!!
