Most probably a package specific setup routine that makes a connection to the X server -- for whatever reason. The environment is probably modified at that point (e.g. by portages sandbox), so it doesn't work with a forwarded X connection. Maybe you can temporarily overcome that by using e.g. Xnest (since you already have X forwarding running) or Xvnc. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
