Quoting "Larry Hall (Cygwin)" :
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 ?
Do you have the X server running?
Yes, I obviously started the X server of Cygwin (- using startxwin.sh)
So you either:
A. Didn't set DISPLAY appropriately in the shell you're starting
'wish' from.
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.
