No, I'm building as a normal user on the local machine. [...@blikbrein ~]$ echo $DISPLAY :0.0 Furthermore I can create Tk objects: [...@blikbrein ~]$ python Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Apr 12 2009, 04:14:16) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Tkinter >>> a=Tkinter.tkinter.create() which creates a tk window on my desktop. So really in the dark what's going on here....
