Wish/tcltk DISPLAY is not set
Dear All, When I execute wish under cygwin (wish test.tcl), I get the following error message: /usr/bin/xterm: DISPLAY is not set I think this problem has been reported in 2006 @ http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00090.html http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg65756.html I checked my tcltk version in my cygwin install: it is tcltk/tcltk-20080420-1 Does it mean that this problem reported in 2006 was not corrected in the 2008 version ? or do I miss something ? thanks, regards, Francois -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

B. Didn't start 'wish' from the 'xterm' that gets started with 'startxwin.sh'. So I should miss something because I think what I did is correct ;-) - I start cygwin using the icon from the Windows 7 desktop (bash shell is used; full cygwin install was carried out) - in my .bashrc I do have: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 - the command echo $DISPLAY gives in this black terminal: 127.0.0.1:0.0 - I execute startxwin.sh in this black terminal - from the new xterm opened (white), I execute wish tmp.tcl I get: /usr/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: /usr/bin/xterm: DISPLAY is not set Where is the problem ? If I execute: export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 in the x-terminal (white) run again wish tmp.tcl, I get the same error message... Thanks, regards, Francois PS We are two different persons having this same problem. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Sorry, I'm not a tcltk expert. My guess is it has to do with the fact that Cygwin's tcltk isn't X-based. As a result, it may be X-challenged. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
